Seeking advice for upgrades to thunderbolt 3 card with slim video cards.

This board came with two x16 3.0 slots but are next to one another. I would like to know a good recommendation to expand on this to running external gaming cards. I've been running this system sense November 2013 maxed out but don't want to upgrade when the system runs very well. Advice anyone please.

Normally with thnuderbolt you need a board specific card, with an additional header, so you can't put thunderbolt 3 onto your system.

 

You really have to pick with that system of either high performance gpu, or a second expansion slot. Small form factor limits some options. You can't really do pcie risiers as there is no where else to put the card.
