I've been having a look around in the bios of my Asus P5NSLI mobo. There is a PCIPnP submenu which contains a single option for configuring the primary display adapter. Currently it is set to PCI as opposed to PCI-E, does anyone know if i'll gain any advantage by setting it it PCI-E or will it mess my system up?

It won't mess your system up, and you won't gain any advantage. It's just the order in which it looks for something to use to output video. If your PCI-E card failed you could stick a PCI card in to get video out.
So right now it takes a look at your PCI slots and see's no video card so looks at your PCI-E and see's a card and uses that.
