It'll work fine as you have both PCI & PCI-E free (assuming you don't have anything in those slots)

So it should be alright then? I'll make sure I don't have anything in these slots before I buy it. Thanks alot! :DQuote:

The PCi and PCi E are both free, meaning the sound card I showed will work?
although, how big is your GPU? The sound card may block your GPUs fans from receiving necessity airflow.
As for the slots:
PCI-E/PCI
- White Circle - PCI-E x16
- Purple Circle - PCI-E x1
- Red Circle - PCI
I think those are the slots and lanes, if I'm incorrect, I apologise.

Is that a problem? :/ I can get a picture of my actual mobo if its needed?
I can see the PCI-E x1 and the PCI slot, meaning it will fit?
@IRhyss; @scottish; this is the actual mobo :
Looks alright to me, looks like the sound card will probably fit.

It looks like your GPU is blocking your PCI-E slot, Maybe try looking for a PCI Sound card, unless Scott can suggest anything betterQuote:
