Hey guys i recently upgraded my GPU to a gtx 780 and it is too damn long. It keeps getting caught on where my HDD/DVD are. So I can fit it in with the faceplate off of the GPU. Will that be okay or would that cause some issues? Or perhaps I can have the faceplate off and cut the faceplate down to where it will fit? What are your guys' thoughts?

Thanks.

Sentey something. I can't remember the exact model. It's an ATX. I can remove them but there is a small metal bar that the card keeps getting caught on.

Okay thanks. I'm now having another issue after installing the card. My computer powers on but there is no beep and my monitor(s) are receiving no signal. I tried putting my old card back in and starting it up but I'm having the same problem. Any idea?

Hmm I can't seem to find a proper adapter. I found an old VGA monitor and I have a VGA cord but the cord is dual male and my mobo is male and my monitor is female. So I'm kinda screwed on that option.
