Yeah, they'll probably kick you a new set of feet without a second thought.

The soundcard would have to be siting in the black PCI-E slot just below the top Asus GTX 680
Yeah, it should work. I do have one thought though. It looks like the card is PCIe x1 - so it'll work in a PCIe x16 slot without a problem. Why not just drop it down to the bottom-most PCIe slot (a x16 slot), instead of trying to wedge it between your graphics cards? Unless you're thinking about doing a 3-way SLI?
All PCIe cards will work in any PCIe slot, as long as it fits and the card's PCIe revision number is not higher than that of the slot it's being plugged into.
x1 cards will work in x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots. x4 cards will work in x4, x8 and x16, but not x1. x8 cards will work in x8 and x16 slots, but not x1 or x4 slots. x16 cards only work in x16 slots. All this regardless of revision. The 'xN" refers to the number of lanes the device requires, it cannot make do with less.
PCIe 2.0 cards will work in PCIe 3.0 slots (at a minimal cost of performance; <1%), but PCIe 3.0 cards will not work in PCIe 2.0 slots - but I may be mistaken on this specific point.
