So i wanted to buy a GPU for the first time. I'm going to eventually use this videocard for my custom desktop build but for now i want to if my motherboard could support the videocards i have in mind. In the pictures of my motherboard, it seems the capacitors are really close to the pci slot..... which makes me wonder if i have to rethink which card would fit.( was thinking of getting an Sapphire Tri-X R9 290)

So what is the best card i could get that would fit my card?????

For a 500w power supply i'd suggest an nvidia 750 ti or a 760 or an amd r9 270. That's guessing your PSU has true power as all cards need at least 500w of power.

750ti to 7790

Ill Probably end up upgrading the psu to a EVGA SuperNova 750 Watt to give it more leeway. So does anyone see the picture of my motherboard with the plugs being very close to it??? So i wont be able to fit much larger cards such as an r9 290 or even a r9 280x?
