    I have a 760GM-P23 (FX) mother board atm http://us.msi.com/product/mb/760GMP23_FX.html

    I want to update my video card to this
    ASUS R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121823R

    The problem is i have a Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102040 in the pcie x1 slot and the video card i want is going to overlap it.



    I'm not trying to change anything but the video card, just looking for a reasonable priced (lower is better)

    M-ATX form factor that will let me use both my sound card and the new video card.

    current pc specs
    AMD 6100 unlocked
    8gb 1600mhz ram

    2GB Nvidia 610
    Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion
