Hi there,
So I'm looking to build myself a new gaming PC. On a budget of £400, but wanting to spend as little as possible if I can. I've already got an i5-2400 and plenty of spare RAM lying around so there's no worries about that (so it's £400 i'm willing to spend on top of this). I'm just a little bit confused with whether this motherboard I'm looking at will be compatible with the GPU I'm looking at.
The GPU being:
R9 290

The mobo being:

According to pc-specs.com, they should be compatible, but it looks like the GPU might be a bit big for the board?
Perhaps I'm being too tight by spending little money on the mobo?
Thanks in advance.
