I'm nearly done with my system; all I have left to do I believe is install the graphics card and plug in power. I noticed that the shield things for my PCI-Express slots were the kind that just broke off and couldn't be put back on, so I want to be super careful with how I do this so I only take of the ones I need.
This is my graphics card. It looks like it takes up 2 shield slot things. The blue slots are the PCI-Express slots. Which PCI-E slot should I put my graphics card in? And, if you can see, which 2 shields do I need to take off to fit the card in?
Nevermind; I just realized that only one of the slots is PCI-E x16. The other two are x8.
