Hi, i dont know if this the proper place to ask this,
i do have a H81M-K motherboard, the Inbuilt SoundCard is dead, so i have to expend extra money for a internal one (the good external ones are way over my budget)
ill be getting the ASUS XONAR DG, (i have a ATH-M40X so i want a soundcard with AMP)

My problem:
i do have a sapphire R9 270x installed on this MOBO, and i dont know if i can have this soundcard on the same MOBO or if its even compatible, and if the space will be enough for the fans to get correct airflow. ;'(.

heres some screenshots:

and this is the sound card:

Can i buy it and install it? or its a no-no? :(.

Your using the stock/standard cooler anyway so temps won't increase too drastically. They are pretty poor anyway and as i doubt you plan to overclock you shouldnt have any issues i dont think.

Also could use an external usb sound card, if space is an issue... ive only used one myself briefly some time ago but it cant remember having any issues with it

i understand both answers, and yeah i feel that airflow will be restricted, but what i dont get.. its.. where the hell am i supposed to stick that sound card Dx.. where do you guys see the slots, i was like "hmm maybe theres a going around for this, like an adaptor or something else".
