I got a 5850 from a friend and it does not line up to fit into the motherboard. The case is an antec 300-2 and the motherboard is a z77a GD65, both of which has specifications that say it should fit this 9.5" card. I've including a photo:

As you can see, the card to backs into the left side of the case yet it does not line up at all to fit into the motherboard. Did I miss something? are the specs not what i thought they were? Any help would be great.

It is certainly compatible.

You have to remove this metal part visible on the left of your image. Read the article.
