Doesn't the motherboard have any other free PCI-E port?
You can use an X2 card in a X16 slot. Did you know that.

It's a MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX)

Really your only options if your GPU is too large are to either get a standard PCI card for the next slot or a motherboard with more expansion ports. There are also USB Ethernet cards.

Does the integrated port not function?

Ohh. You a screwed then.
Options:
Get a single slot graphic card (If you are a gamer then that's not an option)
Get a new motherboard.
Get a standard PCI card.

If it is a WiFi card, then just buy a WiFi USB dongle

The ports function. It's about nearly a year old, but I haven't found any PCI1 ones that I can just pick up.... I live in Australia if that matters

What specific card is it?
