Fitting of a graphics card depends on the length of graphics card. Hight and width can be fit in any case. MSI r9 280x has length 26.9 centimetres. Check your case length from the back panel to the hard drive casings parallel to the PCIe slot. If it is greater than 26.9 centimes then the graphics card will be fit and if it is less it won't (most of cases it fits). That's the way to check. Best luck.
I have ordered a R9 280x cpu. would it fit in any gaming pc or do you need a certain size computer? my pc is an x11 amd gaming computer. thanks
Sorry, which case? "(...) x11 amd gaming computer (...)" is not of much help. It does have to have a certain size, you cannot fit a big GPU in any case. If it's a Mid-ATX case it should easily fit, but you'd be more assured if I knew the actual case.
