I'm building my first PC and I'm buying an XFX radeon 7850 from NewEgg. I'm also buying CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W PDU and an i3-3220 Intel core. I've come to find out motherboards are not universal to all GPU's, CPU's, and PSU's. I'm getting a bit stressed out on compatibility so your insight and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
 
Solution
Pretty much any LGA1155 motherboard with a PCIe x16 slot is compatible with those parts. I suggest you pick a motherboard with either B75/H77 chipset.

ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 LGA 1155 Intel (via NewEgg). You think this mobo will go well with the set up I listed? Sorry I need to be 100% certain.

PS: I also want to add, on the mobo I listed, that it's dimensions are 8.9" x 7.2" and the video card is 9.5" x 4.4", does the video card's dimension conflict with the mobo's or can the video card be longer than the mobo?
