A riser would be the best bet: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UB3C30825&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Cables+-+Internal+Power+Cables-_-9SIA4UB3C30825&gclid=CMr--8f72s4CFU-Cfgodm9kGZQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

It happens. Life can be tough in this aspect. Either get a new board or a slimmer GPU or a USB wireless adapter.

A riser won't fit unless the fan shroud is slimline (risers still take up 20mm on height)

Return the network card , there are some decent standard PCI cards available which you'll be able to use.
