i circled the plugs in red and my video card i have now in blue

...the Red is your SATA cables, the blue...appears to be circling some capacators on the card, can you try taking a better picture?

Width-wise it should be ok. You'll probably need to re-arrange the cable either under or over the card though. I'm assuming this is a dual-slot card?
 
Correct me if I'm wrong (I find it difficult to be sure in pictures.), but aren't the black and white slots also SATA ports? Why not just move the cables to those and be worry free?

Hey no problem. Glad I could help. Nothing worse than those little things that get in your way (Literally or figuratively haha) of what you're trying to do with your computer.
