I'll look into prices anyway, I'm sure I'll have many options
One more thing though, I've seen different sized pci-e slots so how do i know what size mine are? And will it affect my choice of card
Can you get different sized cards?? I'm not great with all the small technical details haha i really need to get upto scratch with that
Most PCI - E cards are the same size but they can have different speeds. For instance, the first slot can be X16 and the second slot X8. But as far as I know, they are mostly the same size, just different speeds. Below most comps with PCI - E slots you also have PCI slots themselves which are used for lesser graphics cards and sound cards and other options. That probably explains what you are seeing when you look at your motherboard, or others.
