Thanks

Def Z68. your z68 e3 g3 board has pcie2/3.0 compatibility, so any card will work. That board is also a great board for Overclocking, and packed with features. One of my fave boards ever

any card will work on a pci-e 2.0 slot as well.

question really is, do you care about quicksync? it lets you transcode videos CONSIDERABLY faster than any other alternative. if u do care, get the z68

Yeah i was planning on rendering videos with this computer i just also wanted to make sure the gtx 550 ti would work with the 3.0 slots

yeah it should work fine, though i have heard some compatibility issues with 3.0.

if you are planning on transcoding, then get the z68 so you can use quicksync
