Will a gtx 580 fit on a biostar tz68a Mobo.

I am concerned with space issues. I am going to run a i7-2600k with this, should I use 8g or 16g of ram? does it matter?

I would go with 8GB, as it is more than you are ever going to need, and it tends to run a bit more stable at higher speeds.

And the size is fine for a 580.

If your GeForce GTX 580 graphics card is a double slot width card it won't be obstructing or covering any unused slots since the card has to be placed in slot PEX16_1.

If your worried about the length of the graphics card and whether or not it will fit in your computer case well that will depend on the size of the case that you are using and how the drive bays are arranged within the case.

As to whether you require more than 8 GB of RAM it depends on what applications you use and whether or not they will benefit from the extra RAM.

I would think that your case might have more impact on what will or will not fit. If the Motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot, the card will work with the motherboard. Now fitting into your case is another matter.
