Help me out, I want to buy the GTX 980 Nvidia GeForce, but I'm not sure if it will fit into my motherboard, which is an Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0. CPU is AMD FX(tm)-8350-Eight-Core Processor.
Help pls
It will fit fine in the mobo, but a better question is: will it fit in your case? Which one you have?
Why wouldn't it fit on your motherboard...? Typically people are worried about these cards being able to fit on their cases. Lmao. You're fine.
don't do it, save more for Ti

My cabinet is an AeroCool V3X, not especially large but I like it
The MSI card is just two fans long but smaller than a reference HD7950 it would fit virtually in every case even itx.

You will never see the full potential of this video card with that CPU. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your CPU before you drop $470 on a video card.

He will be GPU limited in almost everything at high settings.

Not OP but please explain. I was actually looking at the 8350 and a 980. Please save me.

I have a GTX 970 that was paired a FX8350 until last year when I got a 4690k.
The FX8350 was clocked at 4.5Ghz but in some games mostly multiplayer games like Battlefield 3 framerate would drop below 60 in some games like Caspian Border and had to change mesh settings to medium to maintain 60 without dips below that.

>AMD CPU
>980
shit where are you getting your advice
AMD CPUs are dogshit through and through
980 does not represent value for money. if you're going with Nvidia you go 970 (390 is preferable at this level) or 980ti

Mobo is fine, but make sure it can physically fit in your case.

He probably already has the CPU, form a more budget-oriented build maybe. Ironically enough AMD GPU drivers are actually fairly CPU heavy and love single-threaded performance, so if you've got an AMD CPU getting a NVIDIA card is probably a better idea.
do yourself a favor op, buy amd
