I am looking to buy an AMD Radeon r9 280x and i am wondering if that will be compatible with my motherboard.

At the moment i have a Nvidia Geforce GT 630, an intel core i7 3.4GHz processor and a 300W power supply

My motherboard is a: Formosa IPMMB-FM.

Please help.

The MB shouldn't be any problem. But the 300W PSU will be. The R9-280X is a 250W card itself. That will draw ~21 amps from the +12V rail(s) of the PSU. You need to upgrade your PSU before you can use that card.
