I need to install a memory card reader in my PC that I've had in its box for awhile, and because of my graphics card the cable is too short to reach the motherboard header.
Can anyone recommend a PCI-E to USB 2.0 header card?

I fixed that for you.
Do you not understand that you need a new power supply before you add any other crap to your system? You are taking a very high chance of it totally going out on you now and taking other stuff with it. Seems you don't quite get it.

Done talking about power supplies, I'm officially getting it tomorrow.

I think you're after something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ci-e_to_usb_header-_-9SIA50M3CF1848-_-Product or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...re=pci-e_to_usb_header-_-15-158-411-_-Product
Not sure if the internal USB header is what you want for your card reader though. I think the internal/board headers for USB 2.0 and 3.0 are different too and both of those are USB 3.0, so the card reader is USB 2.0 it might not even fit.

I don't have any USB 3.0 headers, and the only 2.0 header I have I can't use because it's at the lower back area of my mobo and 1) the cable on the reader is too short and 2) my GPU hovers right above the header and this means the cable from the reader would just get caught in my GPU fan anyways. The StarTech thing you linked is what I'm looking for except I need it to be a USB 2.0 header
Aren't there two on that board? Do you have any room to move the case USB port header to the other one instead?

Never thought of that. I'll give that a try and come back with resultsAren't there two on that board? Do you have any room to move the case USB port header to the other one instead?
