Hello all,
This might seem like a stupid question I realize, but I would like to just make sure before buying the motherboard. I saw this on microcenter.com, figured good deal for an ATX motherboard:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0363458 P67H2-A3 ECS.
Now I haven't rebuilt my current computer in quite some time, which has a 9600 gt and this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135063.
With my 9600 GT, I never had a space issue being single slot. But I noticed the newer designs on the motherboard where the heatsink for part of it has moved very close to the PCI Express x16 slot. Now I'm going to be buying a double slot graphics card, hence my reason to go with a Full ATX Mobo instead of Mid. Is there going to be a space issue there? Cuz I've noticed, for example, a card like this seems to bump into that heatsink: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133326 (just an example, not necessarily buying this one).
