Hey I'm New here but I've recently thought about building my PC and I'm not sure whether my GPU will be compatible with my Motherboard?

GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+

Mother Board: ASRock 970-PRO3.R2 AM3+ AMD970 4*DDR3 SATA3 USB3.0 2*PCIEx16

My CPU is the AMD FX-9370 Black Edition which I know it is compatible with the Mother Board.

So just let me know if they are ok to buy.

My PC Build:
Memory: Corsair 8GB (1x8GB) Vengeance
Mother Board: ASRock 970-PRO3.R2
HDD: Toshiba 1TB 7200RPM HDD
CPU: AMD FX-9370 Black Edition
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+
Power Supply: Aerocool 550W XPREDATOR G PSU

If you think this PC build is good let me know thanks :)

Actually that cpu is not compatible with that board(just because they are the same socker doesnt garantee compatibilty) pairing them is likely to end in a fire. The FX 9xxx series is hot garbage they run hot and have stability issues even on the few boards that can support them. If you want to build an all AMD gaming rig wait for the new Ryzen cpus in March because currently AMD cpus are a bad buy. Also Aerocool psus are some ofvthe worst availble and the PSU is a very important component a poor choice hre could literally ruin the whole system. Unfortunately the build is a disaster waiting to happen.
