Video card problem

[addison]

Okay so my mother board http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KA790GX-M.html has a pci E slot, one problem. The southbridge heat sink is straight across and like to high for me to put in a newer stonger card so I have a geforce 9500 gt right now. I see screws on the side of this medal thing on it but it's to dangerous to take them off because it's so hard to and there is a risk that the little plastic things will bend. Is there any way to stop this???

You could put something like a Radeon 5770 in there. Those don't take up a bunch of space--especially if you get a smaller one.

If you took a picture, I could understand what you're describing better.
