motherboard PCIE slot

 Hi. I was planning on getting a wireless card(PCIE) for my new pc. Just checking that if I do end up buying one that it won't take up the graphics card slot.

Thanks

Honestly why dont you just get a USB Wifi card like  https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00MX57AO4/ref=sr_1_4_olp?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1534382280&sr=1-4&keywords=alfa they are amazing and VERY useful. PCIE cards work just as well but this one you can use on any computer

USB wireless cards in my experience are dogshit in comparison to a good PCIe card. PCIe wireless cards should never take up more than a 4X slot, most will just take a 1X. Your graphics card fits into the 16X slot. You should be fine.
