Hi-

I am a complete noob at building computers, so I will now ask a very noobish question! Yay!

I have picked this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121506) motherboard to buy for a custom computer I am going to build and I was wondering where a video card would attach to this. I know, I know it's a stupid question, but I am such a noob at this. Could someone please reply and make my life wonderful?

Thanks!

See that long blue slot neat the middle of the board? That's a PCI express 2.0 slot, and that's where your video card goes.

As long as the video card is PCI and not the old school AGP, it should work! Make sure you install drivers for it to function to its full potential.
