    I've got a gigabyte r9 270x and a Corsair 200r, and the end.of the gpu output thing bends SLIGHTLY. It doesn't bend enough to stick outside the case, should it? I can't currently put the gpu in at all..

    If you have a camera you could throw up a pic so can see what you mean?

    Also make sure you have the tab on the pci slot for the card in the open position before putting in the card

    Tab's open, phone's being a knob atm. I'll try pics in a min.. Basically, the lip at the end of the output thing that takes up 2 expansion slots doesn't slip outsite the slot but instead sits on it and won't move..

    I know what you're talking about. I had this issue and I assumed there was something wrong with the card, eventually I got it to fit by placing the computer, right side down on a large flat table in a well lit room and calmly coaxing it in there. No force was required.

    I was convinced the metal was misshapen but it turned out I was just doing it wrong.

    start by trying to line it up with the back of the case rather than the PCI bus.

    Also make sure there are no wires obstructing it.

    When I put between the mobo and case, it doesn't seem to slot into pcie slot properly?

    There should be a gap there albeit small for it to fit into.

    It sounds like the mobo isn't lined up perfectly maybe.
    You could try loosening the standoff screws to move the mobo a very small bit but you really shouldnt need to.
