Yea man, goes in the PCI Express slot, your board has a PCI-E 2.0 x16 interface. Make sure to uninstall the current graphics drivers with http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html

I believe all ATX and micro-ATX boards are compatible.

Modern graphics cards use a "PCIe x16" slot. That's the BLUE one in the following link (in the top left) and the description also says "PCIe v2.0 x16...":

Your only other issue likely is ensuring your POWER SUPPLY is adequate. For that, you only need see what x6 and x8 PCIe connectors it has. I'm unsure what the R7-260X requires but I'd be guessing at a single "x6" PCIe power cable which most 450W and higher Power Supplies should have.

Other:
Technically it's not a "GPU" but a Graphics Card. The GPU itself is just the main processor under the heatsink.
