I'm sorry but that doesn't help much. Is your CPU and Intel or AMD? Core 2 Duo, Athlon X 64, Pentium 4. We need to know this or we can't select the right motherboard for you.

Same with the RAM, computer case size and other parts.

No, it's PCI-e 1.0.

But that is irrelevant as no graphics card exceeds the bandwidth of 1.0 anyway.

strange.. why did they make a 2.0. for overclocking? im no overclocker.. i

Reply to gaborell

PCI-e 2.0 made it better for Crossfire and SLI.

But since it is backwards compatible with 1.0, it is used in all modern motherboards even if they have just 1 PCi-e slot.
