Yo!

thinking of applying a soundcard to my system, but unsure if my motherboard will support one!

My mobo is a gigabyte z77x UD5H:

Currently running a GTX670

Id like to add a soundcard too if possible, is there space?

Thanks! *note to self never start a thread with "Yo" again*

Ok thanks

would that be ANY PCI-E slot? or does it have to be a certain one, e.g. x8/x16 ?

Ah okay! Onboard is fine but I heard accounts of a few people mentioning a noticeable difference once they acquired a sound card, just interested to see what it's like for myself!
