Question Asus Rampage II Gene vs. 1070 Asus GPU

[BaronLewdWickVonJunz]

Hello and good evening anyone who is reading,
I have upgraded my pc form a rock to a potato
Installed a 1070 GPU inside a Asus Rampage II lost my secondary PCIe slot which housed my bunny ears (Wifi adapter card)
So I am curious if I have any options to housing my bunny ears once again.
I do have a free standard PCI slot.
I do believe I have some free open USB slots as well if that helps (on the motherboard)?
I am just getting into this so its a little overwhelming but any pointers or suggestions would be much appreciated.
I like the wifi adapters the go directly into the motherboard I have had the USB ones and they seem to not preform as well.

One way to use that PCI slot is get a PCI to PCI-E adaptor. Or I did see PCI WIFI cards as well.

Is the GTX 1070 so big it covers the bottom PCI -E slot.

You should be able to install your current wireless adapter in the bottom most PCIe x16 slot. PCIe x16 slots can accommodate, x16. x8, x4, and x1 devices.
