Mark,
Does your video card take up two spaces like most?
If so, your "expansion" is great for PCIx16 slots but with a video card in you have one open pci slot.
Other than that, a good board.
Of course, you could simply run TWO video cards on that board as well as that six core CPU and have that thing really smoking!
(ArVee is rubbing off on me)
Hope it all works out for you the way you want there big guy!
the best,
micro....
