so i am planning on buying a new motherboard because my current one can`t handle my CPU. the most recommended mobo was the asus m5a99fx pro 2.0. (this is the one i am planning on buying)
but i am not sure if my GPU will fit. i have a sapphire r9 290 tri-x which is 305mm long and i read somewhere this is too long because the sata slots will get in the way. is this true? and if it is could you recommend a motherboard that will work?
