This is my build. I have two Smaller PCI slots open that I think are x4. So I need one that'll fit that.
Also since my CPU only has 16 PCI lanes does putting the wifi card and dropping my GPU to x8 give me any performance drops? I'd only need to have it active every once in a while when the PC isnt in my room so as long as the drop in performance isnt noticable I might just have the card always on leaving it at x8.
