I've recently got a TP-Link wn751nd in the mail. When I went to install it I saw that the gpu fan (gtx 560ti) was positioned downwards. I'm afraid that this may cause cooling issues and further problems. My gpu idles at 54 degrees C right now and before it idled at around 30-40. I don't think Amazon gives refunds on opened and used products. I only have one fan too because my mother board only had one space for the chasis fan which I had to the rear fan. Not much ventilation as there is no room for it.
Wireless PCI Adapter is covering the gpu fan.

It depends on how close the card is to the fan. The gfx card fan is an intake fan. If it can pull in air it can cool no matter how close the card is. Dual gfx cards sometimes sit very close together, and they cool fine. 54C is not bad idle temp for a gfx card. I'm surprised that it only idled at 20-30C before.
Why can't you run another case fan off the PSU's Molex connectors?

Case fans only use 1 -2 watts. Not an issue with a 500W PSU. Why are you limited to an 80mm case fan?
It doesn't sound to me like the added card is covering enough of the gfx card's fan to even be an issue. Can you post a pic?

Depending on the cable end of the fan, you should be able to use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-ZM-MC1-Multi-connector-Add-Fan/dp/B000FAKUE6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382713895&sr=8-1&keywords=molex+to+3+pin+fan+adapter
