No access to the PSU cables?

Hey guys.

I bought a PC from PC Specialist close to a year ago now, but didn't buy a GPU for it at the time 'cause I was a bit strapped for dough. Fast forward 11 months and I bought a new GPU, fixed it inside of the case, but my power supply seems to be completely isolated from everything else and I can't access the cables to connect it to my GPU -- has this happened to anyone else, and if so, what was your course of action?

Am guessing the cables are hidden under a PSU shroud.

What's the full spec? You can copy and paste from your PCS order page

What is the new GPU you bought? Link to the page you bought it off

That GPU is apparently: "Corsair CMK8GX4M1D3000C16 Vengeance LPX 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4 3000"

So I'm guessing that's not the GPU, but as you've linked it, did you buy more RAM, and buy a 3000MHz stick to go with your 2400MHz stick...?

The cables for the GPU will - probably - have been tied up and hidden behind the PSU shroud. Take the other side panel off and follow the cables from the PSU. PCS may have used a cable tie to tidy them and bind them to something on the case, in which case you'd need to (very carefully...) cut that to free them.

See the case page:

I've tried removing the panel on the other side, but apparently there're only two screws that come out, and I can't for the life of me tell what else is holding it there.
