Title: Will an 8800gt card fit into the top pci x16 slot 880GMA-UD2H?

This is what i'm hoping to buy.

My 8800gt is a bit similar to this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130450&cm_re=9800gt-_-14-130-450-_-Product

I also have a 1055t amd x6 processor, and i'm also wondering if this ram has a good chance of running on the UD2H motherboard as well. Patriot PV234G1333LLK:

Hi,

Although this card will fit the length of the card means that the SATA ports get covered which makes it very difficult to use them (Good design Gigabyte!)

If you are using SATA you will need to put the cables in before seating the Graphics card and unfortunately the card will end up sitting very tightly against them.

I have done this on a similar board and it works but, if you can get a shorter Graphics Card things will be easier for you.
