Hello everyone!
So I want to upgrade my gaming PC with a AMD RX480 8gb video card (this one https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-480-GAMING-X-8G.html#hero-overview) but I really don't know if it will fit my motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4668#ov). Im a noob so I would like to get some information how to know if the video card fits the motherboard!

Thank you for your help! :)

Sure all AMD's are backward compatible to PCIE 2.0. Make sure you got the latest bios update and all should go well. You only get into problems when version 1.0 and 1.1 come into play.
