Yea that Asus PCE-AC68 isnt gonna fit above the gfx, however thats not to say no pci card will fit above the R9 290, i was able to fit another card in its place and moved the wireless card into a pcie 16x slot. The Asus PCE-AC68's heat sink seems to be wider than the average 1 expation slot card.

quick google search shows that $60NOK is about $10USD, this is ofcouse if VeryWetFingers wasnt talking about USD in the first place.

Thanks for the input guys, looks like the general consensus is that it wouldn't fit but I'd welcome further input. When I get the card in a few days I will try to keep the Asus PCE-AC68 where it is, if I can't fit it then I'll have to move it, I'll let everyone know what happens as I couldn't find any information on this anywhere else.

Hi I was wondering if an r9 290 with any of those coolers will allow an Asus PCE-AC68 (or any other card which takes up the full slot) to be installed above it? My slot configuration is as follows Pci-e x 1: Asus PCE-AC68 Pci-e x16: Graphics card Pci-e x 1: Blocked by graphics card Pci-e x 1: I can move the Asus PCE-AC68 here but that would mean it covers a about 1/3 of the graphic card airflow. the rest of my mb has other expansion cards in it. Vapor-X: PCS+: Direct CU2: (could not find a picture from the same angle ) After a week of research I've decided to go with the vapor-x card but the other cards above also seem to have similarly sized back plates which would face the same problem I described. Can we please stay on topic instead of suggesting alternative cards/brands

I've found c# is must faster and earlier to lean/program in, but c++ is definitely more powerful. C# will meet all your requirements and I'd recommended you lean that, you can eventually lean c++ if you want (the syntax of c# and C++ are pretty similar). (Edited for spelling)
