@GamingOptional  thank you.

@cortexggx,

The main issue is the 24pin main ATX power cabling.  The motherboard was meant for single width GPU cards. Dual slot cards usually slam into the wiring bundle. So the card will not lockup into the slot. There are single slot cards. and here is a list.

Alright, thank you. I'm probably going to have to buy a new computer anyways because of my power supply haha. I would have to upgrade the whole thing.
