There's a PDF of the manual for that board available here:

I have never installed an NIC,
It's easy, just read the manuals, wear a grounding strap, work in a well lit space and know that you should really never have to force these things to fit. If you're starting to bear down and the component hasn't slid or snapped into place, there's something wrong. Stop, inspect carefully and confirm your understanding of what you've read.

This is one I bought about 18 months ago, following what we thought was a power surge of some kind while no one was home: http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-07-08-intel-expi9301ctblk-pro1000-n... You can't go wrong with Intel performance-wise, but they do tend to be pricier. The last I bought, used in this machine, is no longer available, but uses the same Realtek 8169 as the two above and NAICT works just fine. As long as you have an empty PCIe X1, that's the slot I would buy to fit, instead of for PCI. Before buying anything I would confirm the onboard NIC got "fried" by doing a BIOS reset, just in case the hit caused BIOS corruption rather than NIC destruction. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
