 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

What motherboard do you have?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

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 :D

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.
