Yes, in any of the PCIEX16 slots, that is PCI Express and should support it. If you're upgrading your graphics card, providing it is the same slot type then you should be able to just pull out and replace.

PCI is the full size card, anything with the EX or a number is going ot be PCI Express, you have various types such as PCI Express 1 which is the smallest all the way up to x16.

Remember to ground yourself, switch of the power and install the drivers!
Quick question, why did you wrap your question in code tags?

Thanks for your reply.
I was not able to post it so I put it in quote, i think it was because of the spaces it didnt let me.
So does this mean I can buy any ddr5 card and put it in there or ddr3 ?
This is my first post as you can see.

As far as I am aware, your DDR is just a measure of transfer rate so you should be able to put any type in there (with the higher being the better, although your motherboard obviously has it's own transfer rate so you don't want to exceed that as it would be a waste).

You can choose any which shall fit, so any in either the x16 or x1 range (x16 is your only option as it is graphics card... that is if you wanted decent graphics).

Welcome to the forums by the way.
