USB 3 would be nice on front ports

[hondo]

Hi

My mobo is a Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 (rev. 1.0) could you let me know if I fit one of these will it work OK Product CA-126-SV

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-126-SV&tool=3

The above Mobo is mounted in a Fractal Design Define (R3 I think) case, I know its currently got an un-used long wire @ the front with a 20 pin black & blue plug

Currently in the PCIe slots I've got a Gainward 580 GTX

& an ASUS Xonar D2X sound card, it looks like I've got two spare PCIe slots

What concerns me is the USB PCIe device requires a PCI-E gen 2.0 slot & I'm unaware if my board supports that or not.

BTW I'm looking for USB3 connectivity on the font ports.

Many thanks for any help

I see no issue, you would need to use the first PCI-e above the GPU.

That's excellent, thanks very much indeed.
& Fortunately, the slot above the PSU is vacant ATM

Oppps edit I meant GPU
