Hello, I recently purchased a Sapphire R7 260X graphics card, but the problem is it blocks the PCI Express slot for the Wi-Fi card. What should I do, thanks? :)

PS: My motherboard: A78M-E35

Hello,
Indeed, with a large graphics card, the pci-e x1 is blocked. But why are you using Wi-Fi? You have an RJ45 network port at the back, which is much more reliable. If you're far from the router, it's better to use powerline adapters, they're quite affordable now.
There's also an adapter that connects to the PCI port and outputs to the pci-e x1; I’ll let you search in stores, but in my opinion, go for the powerline.
