Wireless card doesn't fit motherboard

    Won't work, no. Easy just to sell it really.

    You need a pci-e wireless card, that's a regular PCI card.

    Apologies looks like I dropped the ball with my suggested build (I think I switched to the cheapest in stock motherboard at the last minute without double checking the PCI slots) :(

    You'd probably better off to try your money back on adverts rather than sending it all the way back to Germany.

    Might be worth considering a set of homeplugs, better than WIFI for a desktop which won't be moving around much.

    These were in bargain alerts the other day, apparently the addition of Irish VAT rate tips them just over the £25 so they qualify for super saver delivery

    No worries Marco, I have to work off wireless no wired option will work!

    I made the same mistake, sold it on adverts for same price I bought it. Got homeplugs. Happy days.

    Thanks for the replies will sell it and order the correct one from amazon, on a side note I cant see a slot on the motherboard to plug in the USB 3.0 plug from the case!
    No blue USB 3.0 slot on the motherboard am I missing something?!
