This card will add two extra ports using a x1 PCIe slot

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Startech 2-Port SATA-III Raid 1 & 0 PCI-Express Controller Card (PEXSAT32)= £33.95

Total: £38.61
(includes shipping: £4.66)

You have two number 1x PCIe slots below the 16x.

The bottom one on the board should be available even with the GFX card in place.

So you are currently using all four of the SATA sockets?

Use DVD and/or HDD on the Controller card, so it doesn't affect speed. For regular SSD speeds it needs PCI-E x2 slot, which your board doesn't have.
