Asus p5b graphics issue??

I own an asus p5b motherboard (vanilla) and i intend to fit a double slot graphics card (Gainward geforce 7900gs 512mb). Unfortunately there is a capacitor that sits slightly superior thatn the pci express socket right next to it. My interrogate is: will the larger graphics card still be able to fit, ie: are they raise up out of the slot, even a millimetre.

Ive never had pci-express past.

It might, you could also just solder the hat on the back of the board, I don`t know use an axial lead and lay it down, or, a short time ago shuffle cards in slots till you hold 2 slots they will fit in.
Try CAREFULLY bending the capacitor out of the style, not too much though, just satisfactory to let the card clear. If you break the capacitor rotten, you can get a replacement from Radio Shack and solder it pay for onto the mobo.
