If one looks at the second picture at

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/870AG54.html#hero-overview

( color order is black / blue / black / black / blue)

I have fitted my gpu in the last blue pcie slot the one that is near the cpu. I was wondering if I have placed the gpu correctly ?

Yes, it will only fit in the one and only x16 slot so if it slides in it should be fine

Yes you picked the right slot

 

[scout_03]

if the gpu is in the first blue slot under the gpu that will be ok .
