I did the same thing when I built this machine for the same reason. That card has "
DVI Max Resolution : 2560x1600" so will fit the bill for you. The actual height of that is probably 2 slots on the MB (due to the heat sink) and I would recommend installing it on one of the lower PCIe slots to keep the sink furthest from the CPU (the middle PCIe slot would probably make the most sense, as the bottom one may be too close to the bottom edge of the
MB (pg 20 of this manual, the "PCIEX 16_2" slot)).
Especially in cold dry air, be sure to ground yourself to the computer case before touching any components, and do not handle anything by the "pin edge" as extra precaution. ESD (electro-static discharge) can do nasty things to circuit boards if not careful. The lever prong on the end of the PCIe slot will unseat the old card when depressed and should snap into place when the new one is fully seated.
