Well as most of you prolly know i have a e310 which only has pci slots and a pcie x1 slot so....

Im thinking since my comp has this pcie x1 slot i might buy this

Its a adapter that makes the pcie x1 to a pcie x16

I might buy this video card since its around my budget

Sure these components will function in your machine. I can't say how well the graphics card will perform at the 500 mb'sec rate that PCI-E x1 runs at. I may do some 'googling' regarding your situation because I want to know how fast a graphics card runs at in the PCI-E x1 range: and at the x16 range. You may want to do the same thing, so you'll know what to expect. Please bear in mind that this card is an OK card for one who wants (some) performance boost: but not built with specs to play "Crysis" or most competive games. If you do this please; post back your results. G' Lck.
