Got my own answer… only 1 PCI 16x ☹ - - - Updated - - - But anyways one of those cards above blows the Geforce 550 Ti out of the water. ---

The card he has is more than I need already. And originally this was going to be a budget build. I think for a total of $600 I have something decent enough to play most anything on at least HIGH settings. ---

So the temps in this thing have been seeming pretty HIGH! Iv been using FanSpeed to look at everything. These are all at idle and fans running at 50% Core 48c GPU 42c Temp1 48c When light gaming like playing CounterStrike, Core and GPU jump to 53-55c. Seems warm that’s all. I need to add a fan at the top of the case. Should I have it blowing in or out? Right now there is a front fan, side fan, and 2 in the back one on the PS and 1 up top blowing out. ---

Ok. Well that makes me feel better. I was looking up Temps and everyone has super cooled gaming rigs with Temps in the 40’s. Made me wonder if mine were high. ---

Get a coolmaster 212 direct pipe contact and temps will probably drop, speed fan is like so 10 years ago use core temp for monitoring temps ---

So this mobo I have is really pissing me off. Its not what I thought was in the tower when purchased as a different model number was given to me. Only has 1 pci x16 slot and only 2 memory slots. Also the cables for the HD’s, CD drive, and graphics card so not all fit. I am looking to get something more friendly that I can just swap everything to. PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!! - - - Updated - - - [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128655](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128655) was looking at this. $100 would be my MAX budget, but under would be better of there is something that fits my criteria better. - - - Updated - - - [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131873](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131873) This is what I was thinking I was getting.

So I’m 98% sure that the Gigabyte one you posted won’t work. Different CPU Socket types, unless you’re buying another CPU. ---

Awesome ill prob pick it up next week, along with some 90\* sata cables, and another 8gb of ram and a case fan. Will give me a good change to untangle all the wires and hide most of them. ---
