I want to know if there are any physical changes between these two boards that would make it impossible for me to switch to a RX 480
My CPU and PSU are good enough (450W PSU and an AMD A8 6600K -I know it`l bottleneck,but the budget is tight),so I want to know if there is any kind of pins/connectors that are needed for a RX 480 that my current motherboard/PSU don`t have
 
Solution
the rx480 needs 1 6pin power cable to provide power to it, if your cpu has it then your set if it doesn't and your power supply has a Molex (not usually suggested but your talking budget) can be with an adapter cable use Mole to 6pin to power it.
