Would my Asus M5A99X EVO Rev 2.0
be able to support, and house, an Asus AC1900 PCI-E Adapter?

I need to be able to use this in conjunction with my EVGA 4GB GTX 960,
and possibly my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti.

What I'm more concerned about is the space available around the PCI-E/ PCI ports; as the GPU's take up a substantial amount of room.

Thanks for any replies in advance.
 
Solution
With PCI-E x1 cards, you can just put them in an x16 slot. So you could use the x16 slot at the bottom of your mobo for the adapter, and the main x16 slot for your GPU.

So yes, it'll easily be able to fit, since you could put 3 free slots between the adapter and GPU.
