Hi
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install a GTX 1060, a Blackbird MX-1 USB 3.1 PCIe Card and a Wireless Wifi card on an Asus B85 Vanguard motherboard? I think I needed the mini pci-e slot, but it will get covered by the graphics card, and the PCI slot is not even useful for what I plan to install. Am I correct?

No, you can't. The first (closest to the CPU) pcie slot will take the graphics card and the last one will take the usb3.1 card. But you could get a USB wireless card. There are ones with usb3 connectors if you want higher speeds, but then, if you really want high performance, you should go for a wired connection if possible.

As I thought. No, I really need wireless. I think the USB wireless cards don't have wireless signal strong enough. That's why I thought of installing a Wireless Wifi card.
Is there an adapter to transform the SATA 6/3 power connector into pci-e? I needed a pci-e connector but I do not have enough.
