Thanks Stephen!! I think I read on the mobo that the slot is pci-express x16 pci-express 2.0. So I would need another mobo to run the 750. I think a cheap low power video card will do it for me and upgrading to 16GB of RAM will get me where I need to go. I'm not a gamer and I do little video / image processing. I mostly spend my time programming. The computer spends most of it's time waiting on me. Even if I had 3 virtual machines running all at once 2 will be fully idle and one will be idle most of the time. Having said that I am hoping this really is as far as I need to go. Don't get me wrong, I'd like a souped up machine.... That might be the one I build in a couple years.
