Hi,

I am using MSI P7N Platinum + Intel E730.

I m thinking on installing Creative X-Fi titanium Fatal1ty Pro , Which requier a PCI X1 slot, Which unfortunatly my beloved MoBo don't have.

So I need an upgread for that

Budget+ 10,000

I will use my intel E7300(would b better if the board will be able to handel future processor upgrade)

Thanks
