Advice on motherboard with a Legacy PCI socket

Doge

Hi guys,
I use an e-mu 1820m audio interface for my studio which uses a legacy PCI card that I would like to keep when building a PC for Gaming and music production.

I know this will severely limit my options but I was wondering what are the best motherboards out there which have one legacy PCI socket.

Obviously I'll need one with clearance for the graphics card also, so placement of the PCI socket will be crucial.

So far i have found the ASUS Z170-A which has a an LGA 1151 socket and supoorts DDR4 RAM:

I dont plan on running dual SLI so the lower x8 speed for both PCI express ports wouldnt bother me.


Anyone have any thoughts on this motherboard or other motherboards with a legacy PCI socket?

I don't really care for aesthetics so I don't mind if it doesnt have "Gamer"and EXTREME written all over it!

Cheers!

Option A: Adapt



Could be a little fiddly but may give you lots of choices.

Option B: Part picker:
DDR4 and 1+ PCI slots: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/detailed-list/#d=1,6&L=4

If you know what form factor you want you can whittle that list down further.

Thanks lads, didn't realize geizhals had an option for PCI 1.0 in the filters. That gives me quite a lot more options!
