and I wan't

But the problem is what is that metal line thing next to the CMOS battery?
and if I was going to get a new card would the card fit? or would it get stuck in that thing because of the width? Or would it just lay over it?

Please help Confused :eek:

The card dimensions are 10.2" x 5.2" . There is about 2cm of space from the pci-e on the card so it should fit, The motherboard looks like its ok , make sure you have enough room in your case . I would take a tape measure to make sure there is clearance for 10.2" x 5.2
