The motherboard isn't the issue most of the time. Can the rest of your system hang with the GPU - what are your PSU and CPU?

Yes your board supports it has a 3.0 slot and will be a great match for your setup.

His CPU is a i7-4790k, he said so. Thats a great CPU even by today's standards. PSU is probably fine if its not a crappy brand.
