S Syed Minhal Sherazi Reputable Apr 28, 2015 2 0 4,510 Apr 28, 2015 #1 I'm a building a new pc. I realized that I would be needing 2 pci-e slots because I'd also be using a m.2 ssd along with a gpu. I would like to know some cheap motherboards with 2 pci-e slots! Preferably micro-ATX but ATX is also fine.

I wouldn't bet anything on the build quality, though. I'd look at something like this. If you need two x16 physical slots, this.

Sorry I'm a noob. The GPU will be GTX 980 though

Someone Somewhere Titan Sep 23, 2012 22,291 8 84,965 Apr 29, 2015 #4 x16 is the long PCIe slots, that GPUs have. PCIe to M.2 adapters seem to usually be x4, but boards with an x4 slot are pretty rare. Smaller PCIe cards will fit in longer slots, but not the other way around. I'd get a board with two x16 slots.
