Well I wasn't sure if this thread goes in the motherboard or video card section but o wells...

Ok, so for my new build I got the Abit AN52 motherboard but I was looking at it the other day and it seems that the Northbridge heatsink will be in the way of the video card!

So now I'm not sure if the video card I want to get (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130333)

will fit :/ so I looked at the XFX 8800GS which has a smaller heatsink but heard the fan is loud and stuff, but I would prefer getting the EVGA one.

Do you guys think the card will be fine or what?
 
that northbridge heatsink doesnt protrude upwards as much as you might think... I would say it would be fine to get the evga card.
 
That chip only goes about as high as the card slot; I had a heatpipe going under my 8800GT on my old board and that was no-where near in the way despite looking like it might.
 
Well I was thinking of getting the 8800GT but I went cheap on the CPU (Athlon 64 LE -1600) and I dont have enough for it, still need a PSU
