Hello guys,
I'm in need for some advice. I asked for a pc build earlier this year and I won't go into much detail but the important things are the mobo and the gpu.
(s)he told me that all the parts are compatible, but after some passed and I started looking for more information about computers I found out that the chosen motherboard, which is a msi h81m e33 (yes I know it's cheap but I don't need more features, as long as it works it's good enough for me) only has 1 pci e slot, or 1 slot for a gpu.
But when I read that, I remembered that the r9 280 needs 2 slots. Does this mean it doesn't fit? Or does it actually fit in a way I'm not familiar with?
Note: this will be my first build so I just want to make sure I buy the right parts.
thanks in advance,
Sep
