It's PCIe x16, your mobo has a PCIe x16 slot, it will fit.

 

What you want to worry about is it fitting in your case or not. WindForce cards are very long and many mATX cases may not be able to accomodate them, and even some mid-towers may require removing an HDD cage.

Yea it will (uses PCIe 3.0). The question is will it fit in your case?

Tru dat. Friend has a windforce and it's crazy long. It should fit in your case though. You might have to remove a drive cage.

It'll fit in your mobo, what you probably want to know is if it will fit in your case, cause that's a pretty long card.

Yes it will for in Spec-01. I have a friend running a Windforce GTX 770 in Spec-01 and it fits with room to spare

afaik Spec-01 doesn't have a hard drive cage next to the GPU. Only one below it, you'll have to remove it for SLI though :)

 

My Windforce card barely fits in my N200 lol
