Hi, can this graphics card:
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GT630SL2GD3L#overvie...

fit in the same pci-e slot as this one
http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=01G-P3-131...

As you can tell i'm getting the first card so i can replace the second with it and i was just looking at pictures of the cards, and i just noticed the pci-e slot part on the bottom are of different lengths and was wondering would card 1 fit into the slot card 2 is currently occupying when i replace it.

They may look like different lengths, but they are the same length and will plug into the same slots. That extra tab on the nvidia evga towards the back is for a latch, it isn't involved in the connection.

PCI-E is a graphics standard. All PCI-Ex16 graphic cards will physically fit within all PCI-Ex16 motherboard expansion slots. There are several versions of the PCI-E design. The current version is PCI-E 3.0. Both of the cards you listed are PCI-E 2.0. This is a non-issue (I only mention it because it often comes up) as the PCI-E standard is backwards compatible with earlier versions of itself. A PCI-E 1.0 card will work in a PCI-E 3.0 graphics card slot and vice versa.
