Hey! I just ordered a MSI Gaming R9 280 and a CX 750W PSU to upgrade my PC, however, i'm a little worried my MoBo won't support it, given that it's way older than the new GPU, my mobo is a GA-H61M-S2-B3 (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3917).

Q: Is my MoBo (GA-H61M-S2-B3) compatible with a MSI R9 280 Gaming 3G?

Q: Also, can my future rig run Tomb Raider on Ultimate settings (with TressFX hair and everything else maxed out and stable fps that is):

Intel Core i7 2600 3.8GHz
MSI R9 280 Gaming 3G
4GB RAM @ 1333 MHz
AOC 1600X900 Monitor

Thanks! I'll be picking up a 2x4GB Vengeance RAM with a Xbox One PC controller soon
