So I am currently saving to get a new case

damn, that sucks I live by myself, so I have to pay all the bills. If I'm lucky I have $5.00 a week to save. Though most of the time it works out (after all the bills have been paid, and I've got my food for the week) to be -$5.00, or if I'm really unlucky -$10.00

The only difference is bandwidth, and if you have a GPU with more than 2GB it won't make any difference that you can actually notice. It's nothing to be concerned about replacing a MB over.

The nVidia drivers are what causes you the problem. Remove them like Gilbert said and then install the card.

No need to change MB, any PCI-e 3.0 GPU will work on 2.0 and 1.0 slots.

Yes, my pc wont stay on for more than 5 mins before crashing. 1st time I installed it, when it crashed windows was still booting up, so when I restarted my pc something in windows was corrupted, so I had to reinstall windows.
I sent it back to where I got it at no charge, they tested it, then sent it back.
So I tried it again , when I got it back, only to have it crash again (and by crash, I mean lock up completely, and give the blue screen of death, I hadn't seen it before in win7), this time it just… See More
