I am switching from a Geforce GTX 960 to a radeon rx 480, as soon as it becomes available at $250, and I want to know if it will be compatible with my motherboard. Link to the motherboards website https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/
Thanks for anyone who can help :)
 
Ultra is Tier 5, to be avoided at all costs. Please stop using it before it causes electrical damage to your components.

Hello there I have Asus M5a97 (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A97) with corsair CX 600 Cpu. Just wondering if it will be ok to upgrade RX 480? Currently I have basic graphics card 1 gb.

Thanks for your help in advance.
