really hoping someone can help here can anyone please tell me if this board can hold a geforce gtx 660 i no it has one 16x pcie slot but am not sure if that is a dual width x16 graphics slot
 
Solution
This board will hold the GTX 660 TWIN FROZR3 just fine ( it has a PCI-E X16 slot, the blue one ). Make sure that your PSU has a spare 6pin power cable to power this card.

thanks alot mate as i was panicking after just shelling out for an geforce gtx 660 twin frozr 3 and thinking all was fine read the back of the box that said i needed a dual width pcie 16 slot as my current card is a radeon hd 5670 and looks like it is only single width not dual width i was seriously panicking i needed a new mobo and memory as i have to take over to a friends house to get done which is a 60 mile round trip and didnt want a journey for nothing as i like a little kid all excited and wanting to play some metro and far cry without the frame rate seriously dropping as tyhese games are unplayable at the moment
 
Dual width means the card will take the space of 2 slots in your rig, in this case the card's cooler will block access to the white PCI slot under the PCI-E X16 slot, and that's all. As long as you don't need to put any card into that PCI slot, you're good to go.
