Would a sound card fit here?

I'm planning to buy an "Asus ROG Xonar Phoebus" for my current setup but I'm not sure if it would fit along with my SLI GTX970 >.>.

My current motherboard is an ASUS Maximus VII Ranger and I'm using the 2 red PCIe ports for the GPUs. All the other expansion ports are empty.

Here's a link to the motherboard details/specs https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VII_RANGER/ and here are two pics I just took showing the GPUs and the topmost pci-e x1 port http://imgur.com/a/cxMOl.

I'm wondering if the soundcard would fit in the top most PCIe x1 port (above the GPU) or if I can use the PCIe x4 at the bottom (bellow both GPUs and right above the PSU) to connect the soundcard.
