Hello,
i am finally building a new PC for myself and i wanted to buy a nice mATX board with a powerful GFX card.
My specs so far:
CPU: i7 7700k
MOBO: Asus Prime Z270M-Plus
GFX: Palit GeForce GTX 1080 GameRock (NOT Premium)
RAM: 32GB DDR4-3600 Corsair
SSD: 1 x Samsung 960 Evo M.2 NVMe
Now the question is if the Palit GTX 1080 will fit onto the Board. I know the Case is something to be considered and i already found a pretty Case that is suited for a 290mm Card, but does the Board support a Card that takes the space of 3 Expansion Slots?
I have read the very helpful tomshardware review of the 1080 cards (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-graphics-cards,4725-10.html) and looked at the specs carefully.
The Specs for the Board aren't as well documented in that area (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270M-PLUS/overview/) and you can see on the pictures of the Board that it *should* be enough space i guess, but there is no real confirmation.
Also you can see on this picture of the Board (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270M-PLUS/overview/websites/global/products/iXTm2EUHmCZTeXUL/images/mb/mb.jpg) that the second M.2 port will probably be blocked if i have such a huge GFX Card installed?
For now i will have only the one M.2, which i could install above the GFX area, but i would like to have the option to install a second one in the future.
I know the board is new and all but maybe someone can help me anyway
Thank you.
