Broke a Cap, Need Replacement

[Jeff2884]

Hi all. Problem is as title says, I broke a cap of a MSI H67A-G43 MB when trying to install a hot swap cage. I have attached a picture of the cap. I do know how to solder, so I'm looking for a replacement. I am fairly familiar with caps, but this PC build being for a file server for the small business I work for, I want to make sure I get a exact and equal replacement. Attached is a picture of the cap. I can also take a picture of the motherboard where it broke from if need. Thanks for all the help.

It seems to be 470uF , 6.3v polymer capacitor.

The capacitor is most likely through-hole, I mean it has two wires coming from the bottom, going into the motherboard ...
You will heave to desolder, there's no way around it... you'll need to carefully pull the leads out of the holes by applying extra solder where the leads come through the board, then heat them up and pull them slowly so you won't rip out the metal pads on the board.

These will work:
