I need a compatible motherboard for this gaming build?

[Aeraylia_]

I am building my first gaming computer and I had an MSI FXA-990 GD80V2 MOBO and I realized when I changed some stuff around that it doesnt support my full memory and it says my GTX 980 needs a 2x8 PCIe slot, but I believe that the mobo only has a 1x8. Heres my specs and and some links to look at my old mobo and my graphics card to see if I have any information wrong.

Specs:
Processor: AMD FX-8350 Vishera
GPU: MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Computer Case
Cooling: CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD120BW 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive (120GB)
Hard Drive: Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
DVD: LITE-ON Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model iHDS118-04
RAM: A-Data XPG V2 16GB (2 x 8GB). DDR3 2400 Kit
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNova NEX 750G 80

No. Your GPU can be fine installing in that mobo. 1x8 or 2x8 are to be used with mobos and not GPUs.

Your GPU's bus interface is of PCI-E 3.0 x16 lane http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-980-GAMING-4G.html#hero-specification
and your mobo has for PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots http://us.msi.com/product/mb/990FXAGD80V2.html#hero-specification. So no problems.
