So I currently have an xfx Radeon 580 8gb sapphire, but due to faulty parts the card is getting returned. I am considering going to a PNY GTX 1080 xlr8 oc gaming edition. See below.

My question is will the GTX card work in my pc if the Radeon card did? I'm talking physical connections and such.

PC is a Lenovo K450e
Motherboard is CIB85M
PSU is TR2 600w
 
Solution
It should, your GPU is not reliant on your motherboard, they all plug into the PCI-E slot, as long as your PSU has enough power to support your card it will be fine, and your 600W is enough
