will the graphics card fit the motherboard?

[Corrupt11111]

Plain and simple, I would like to know if the graphics card I intend to order will fit on my motherboard...
Motherboard: Gigabyte B85M-HD3
Graphics card : MSI Geforce Gtx 970 4GD5T OC

The card needs a PCIe X16 slot, the motherboard has it.

Will fit and work.

Yes it will fit in one of the gpu slots

Other considerations you need to look at are:

Will the card fit in your case?
Does your power supply meet the cards requirements (have the right amount of amps/power on the rails and the right connectors) to run the card?
Does you case have enough cooling so as not to overheat?

Sorry I should have mentioned I have a huntkey LW-6550HG PSU and Raidmax Cobra case (http://www.raidmax.com/cobra.html). Will that be fine?

Your power supply is not a good quality unit, it may not run the graphics card at all.

We can look for another PSU if this one is out of your budget.
The case will support the graphics card.
