Hi everyone! I've just built my first PC, which I am very proud of. I am using a MSI B75MA-P45 Motherboard (Which is a nice Mobo for the price!). Now I'm looking for a graphics card to use, and came across a EVGA 650 ti 2 GB Boost. My question is this: Will that graphics card fit on this motherboard? I'm afraid that the area around the pci 3.0 slot seems very tight and won't fit the card. Please let me know. I'm new to this and would appreciate kind feedback. Thank you all in advance!

Yes, it's a big honking fat card but, worry not, it will fit.

The entire card will be below the memory slots since the "front" of the card (the part with the fan) will point down towards the bottom of the case.

Thanks alot! I always thought the memory slots would interfere. So close together! That's my mistake though, for I did choose a small motherboard for my first build, But hey, I learned for next time. Thanks again!
