I've got an evga gtx 480. I have no idea who the original owner is. Two capacitors were taken off from here

And it artifacts now. If someone can fix it for me that would be great.
 
I believe these are the capacitors,

    You might have a tough time having someone agreeing to fix the card for you since you didn't mention how the original caps were removed and you might have irreparably damaged the board in doing so. I wouldn't expect any guarantees on the card working great after the new caps are put on.
    On the bright side, with the original components already removed, you've done half the work! Just use a solder wick to clean up the old solder on there, buy some SMD solder paste, then flux/paste your replacement caps and you're done, unless you've thermally damaged other components when you were removing the caps. Give it a try, otherwise you're just going to be sitting on a broken vid card that can't be sold for anything more than a $15 possible repair project for someone.
