Need help please

I have just bought a GTX 780TI Classified.
After much hassle getting it to fit into the case, the power connectors are about half an inch to an inch under the hdd bay, so can't plug it in.
I tried cutting a square hole into the bay to get it to fit, but the metal is too thick.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this, or perhaps a case that will accomodate this card? It's 11" long, 6" wide.
Ideally a cheap case as I very poor after buying this card haha.

If you can provide some pictures or at least which case you have, it would help. Then we can get an idea of what is going wrong.

The PCI-e power sockets on the card would be facing towards the door of the case so I can't see how they are under the HDD bay unless the end of the card is going through a harddrive bay. In that case you can probably remove the cage from the case.

Cheap case + Expensive GPU = Not a great idea..

What case is causing you hassle?

It's a cheap case I bought as a complete unit. Vantage Angel.
I'm currently really liking the look of the Cooler Master Storm Trooper, what is peoples opinions on this please?
