The only issues I have is the space is taken over by a Graphics card passively cooled hence the heat sink is overlapping the space. I was thinking to upgrade and get that space free but any Wifi a usb would be eaiser! I did like the sound card but them I could just upgrade the single PCI-E with onboard sound built in as well.

Unless you have USB3, PCI e 1x will be much faster. You will get significant improvements with Wifi etc :)

You need firewire devices to use that port, Cameras, video cameras, external hard drives etc Might as well get a USB3 card for the PCI-E slot.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
