I can game on it, gaming on it isn't the problem, the motherboard only has two PCI slots which my GPU is too big to fit anything else in the other PCI, the only slot that I can use is the mini PCIe slot. Also, it only has two Sata ports which are used. I want to add a SSD drive but I can't because the Satas are used. I say I want a gaming motherboard because I have looked at a few and they seem to fit what I want I just wanted some recommendations because there are some gamers here and I mostly use my PC for gaming.
