Need help urgently!

I bought a Sapphire Radeon HD 3450 Graphics card and it arrived today. Problem is it won't fit in my PC ( a HP s7750) The bit where you plug the monitor cable wont fir through the back of my PC. what would happen if I did something like cut the end metal bit off the graphics card? Or cut a bit of the metal on my PC off? Cause I'm not sure if I can send it back to eBuyer.

Please help!

shouldnt there be a panel on the pc which can pop out?

and have you taken out the old graphics card?

yeah I've taken the apnnel off The card Won't fit through the space.

Don't have an old card. Integrated graphics.

I think you're trying to install it incorrectly because those are all standardized across all computers.

Try following this guide and note the pictures within (the most pertinent also linked below):

Fit THROUGH? It's not supposed to go through. It's supposed to fit into the inside, the same as the blank guards which are screwed in fit.

Like so:
