Will there be room for my Wireless Network Card?

nkucz

Hey guys,

 

I'm building a budget gaming PC for Christmas this year, and after deciding which components to purchase after rigorous research I have one concern. Will the graphics card take up so much room (do to the heatsink and fans), that the other two PCIe slots will be covered and unusable? I desperetly need to fit my Wireless Network Card in the bottom PCIe slot to connect to the internet, and before I buy this motherboard I want to be sure I can fit both the GPU and the network card. My components will be listed below!

Interesting thought, but the onboard WiFi adapter definitely would not be as good as the one I linked. Also, it is an ITX board and I'd rather not go with an ITX board. But thanks for the suggestion!
