Hmm. I'd be concerned with your PCI-E x16 slot there. With a Vid card in place they may be a little close. Perhaps you should measure first? I think it may be fine?

I had issues with my Blue Orb several years ago on an ASUS 939 motherboard (can't remember which board). The Orb wouldn't work without some modding to the fins because of the ram. Wasn't tall ram either....
