The Blue one is wired X16 the black is only X4 if you have the power you could do it but do you have the room as I recall those have a front drive cage

PCIe x8 is enough for a video card pcie x4 is not you could put a single card in the blue slot if it will fit in the case.

The black slot is physically a PCIE x16 but it is only wired for pcie X4 so you could not add a second card or use the black slot for your main video card

Hope that makes it as clear as Mud.

Well, it's enough but with a sacrifice in most cases. In OP's case, the only time the black slot would be needed is if there's something blocking the first slot, but it could be done out of necessity.
