Would my motherboard allow a Radeon RX 480? (FM2A68M-HD+)

So I'm getting into building PC's, as I've already installed my new APU just recently (A10 6800K)
And I'm worried that if I were to get an Radeon RX 480, my motherboard, (FM2A68M-HD+) won't allow it. Can anyone tell me if it is to work? And, as a wee bonus question, would my AMD A10 6800K bottleneck a Radeon RX 480?

The motherboard can accommodate the RX 480, but we would also need to know the make/model of your PSU (to confirm power needs are met) and case (will it actually fit inside your system).

Your A10-6800K will indeed limit the effectiveness of the RX 480. You do have more balanced options in the RX line (470 and 460).
