So i recently bought a Killer Xeno Pro network card and it turns out i dont have a pci x1 slot available. I do have one but my graphics card is blocking it. So i decided its time to upgrade my computer, now my question is what should i be upgrading? I was thinking i could find some shorter graphics card so it does not block the pcie x1 slot which would fix all my issues, or just get a completely new motherboard which i know nothing about. I dont know what to look for so that it is able to use my graphics card and network card my hard drive and processor etc. I would send my system spec information but i forgot what application i used before to send that.

The budget im looking at is no more then $150, I would like to get the upgrade as soon as possible.

This is what im working with, I have no idea as to what 32nd pci-e slot is. I just have a pcie x16 slot and a pcie x1 and then 2 pci slots.
 
Your case will hold an ATX board correct? I would recommend an ATX board so you have more room to grow. like this!


When you decide what your doing PM me if you'd like to sell your current board:)
