Does it matter?

I am looking for a decent graphics card. My case can only hold up to a 275mm card though. My question is, Do I need to follow certain specifications or will any graphics card work with any motherboard? Please any help would be awesome. Also, this is kind of a budget build but I would like good quality parts. Any suggestions for a motherboard, processor, graphics card combo? Thanks a ton!

What's your budget? Your case is full tower or mid?

I'd like to keep it around the $650-$750 range. It's just something on the side I'll do over time. And I have a Rosewill Challenger ATX Mid tower.

You can save money by going AMD route, the new MSI RX 580 gpu is $250 and should fit your case,Ryzen 5 1600x is $250, motherboard must be AMD Ryzen ready, they aren't too expensive $100-and up.

Thanks! I was looking at AMD and they seem to have decent prices with pretty good reviews as well. I think that's who I'll be going with. Thanks!
