Hi guys.
The title says "PCI express"

The motherboard doesn't support PCI-e and it doesn't have an AGP port.
I'd suggest you take the card back and see if you can get a store credit, or even a new motherboard.

Bewarned however, a new motherboard will require a new CPU and new memory.

in answer to your questions, yes i have bought the card and i am getting a refund so thats not a problem, its kinda bad news now knowing that my PC sucks lol however i am looking to upgrade my PC as i have seen some new games coming out and theres a bunch of Adobe stuff i wanna use (Studio 8, Auditions) and Finale the music programme. But i was wondering if i could replace the tower completely with a new motherboard, memory, CPU etc. the works basically. Do you know of anything that could help me out i have around £300 to spend on upgrades (if i save lol), and want some advice on what i should be looking for and what might be useful to my requirements. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

PS. left thanks for everyone! great bunch and thanks for the info even though it was a bit of bad news lol
