Expansion questions on MoBo

[yannmac]

Hi everyone, i saw the set ups you propose and i am planning to build the following system :

Motherboard -> Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
CPU -> Intel i5-3570K
RAM -> Corsair Vegeance 8Gb 1600MHz

I am going to use it for music production, and i need to have a firewire port.
Is a PCI interface card with firewire ports going to work or i have to buy a Mobo with integrated firewire port?

PCIe card will do fine if you get the right one - see http://www.tonymacx86.com/buying-advice/59767-firewire-800-400-card-own-100-compatibility.html
