Hope you guys can help me here...

 

So I am running into the problem that I'm closing in on not having anymore USB slots in my computer. So my conclusion have come to buying a PCI-Express card with some extra ports in it.

So the big question is what should I look for and what is good?

 

Hopefully you guys can help me.

 

If anymore information is needed pls say so, so it will be provided.

Honestly any $35usd usb pci expansion card will do the trick, they come in various options so really it ups to you how many ports you need and if you want it in USB-A or C or if you need 2, 3, or 5 ports. I currently have a card with 5 USB-A 3.0 ports in my rig. Did the trick. 

I dont have a brand to recommend for you as I just grabbed one with the best reviews I found for a decent price on Amazon.
