Is Gigabyte H87-HD3 Motherboard (tall chipset heatsinks) compatible with EVGA GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost SC (very long card)?

Hi,

I am building a PC and looking for an inexpensive 1150 motherboard that is compatible with the long EVGA GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost SC graphics card.

I am thinking about the Gigabyte H87-HD3 board but looking at the pictures it looks like that the chipset heatsink (next to PCIE 3 slot) is maybe too tall for this long videocard.

board:

card:

My reason for this combination (inexpensive motherboard) is that I do not want to over-clock the CPU but want a decent graphics card that enables occasional gaming.

Answer: Yes, I have bought and tried. Any card will fit. The motherboard chipset heat-sink is not as high as I thought it will be.
