[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 728403, member: 59833"] I know of no such motherboard. As I noted, PCI is very old and is almost completely phased out. IF you can find a motherboard that supports PCI anymore, most likely it will only have 1 PCI slot. Note the i7-7770 uses the LGA1151 CPU socket. That means you MUST buy a motherboard with the 1151 socket to use that CPU.

What motherboard? Understand the Intel 630 is really a pretty good solution for integrated graphics, as seen [URL='https://technewswith.me/intel-hd-graphics-630']here[/URL]. Without you stating a budget, I don't think you are going to find a "cheap" video card that beats the 630. What is your goal here? If you are looking to improve performance, maybe you should look at adding more RAM. Or going SSD. Regardless what you do, going back to a PCI card is likely to degrade performance. [/QUOTE]
