Who ever thought it'd be a good idea to make all comp cases open on left should

Hello, I was looking to replace the case and mother board of my Hp m9500z. Was having graphics issues running "WoW" so i first replaced the 350w PSU with Corsair TX 750, didn't help so i replaced Radeon HD4650 with EVGA GeForce GTX460 Sc 1024 MB DDR5 PCI-E2. After doing this the problem was fixed but I expected better performance. Then while looking up my mother board MSI MS 7548 Aspen i read a comment on this website about PCIE2 card in PCIE1 robs preformance and sence its BTX case and M.B.was going to replace only my tower sits right of me and i luv that door open from right side. so would this help Pref. and is there any cases where M.B. is mounted on left side and door on right? not sure how to use OC Software. 6gb ram 64-bit Phen-4-9650 vista

It is not the PCIe slot that is robbing performance it is your CPU that cant keep up with the card! It is only dual GPU cards like HD5970 and like that get close to using the bandwidth of PCIe X16 version 1.0 slots!
