Installing USB 3 .0 card

[Penn Wooding]

Hi guys, new to the forum. I have a computer that I use web cams on quite a lot, plus I want to add a third monitor using the Kensington adapter which uses 3.0 USB. So I'm looking for advice on which USB 3.0 PCI card I should get for the computer. The computer is about four years old, uses Windows 7 and has the following processor

AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.90 4 Gig RAM

This will work fine if you have a sata power outlet on your PSU, which you more than likely have. Also, its affordable you don't have to spend much.

Thanks for the expedient reply. Will I have to get a new power lead fitted inside the computer to connect to our PCI board, or will there be a spare one? I did get the computer custom-made so the chances are they didn't put a spare one in, but I really don't know

Custom made actually puts you at a greater chance of having a spare port, crack it open and see if you have a spare under your GPU
