Hello, I have an Asus H61M-K micro-atx motherboard, and I would like to know which graphics card is compatible with my motherboard? (especially regarding the size of the graphics card because I have a micro-atx motherboard) Thank you in advance!

    Hello,

    Your motherboard has a PCI Express® 3.0 slot, so you can install a graphics card without any issues (the fact that the motherboard is micro ATX is not a problem). (However, there are other factors to consider when adding a graphics card: you also need to check the power supply wattage and the available space in the case.)

    Sure, thanks for your reply, but the problem near the PCIe port is that there are hard drive connections; that might be what’s causing the issue, right?

      oh yes, I see what you mean... at worst, if the graphics card prevents you from connecting the SATA cables to the SATA port, you could try buying angled SATA cables that take up less space. But in my opinion, you shouldn’t have any problem even if you put in a 27 cm graphics card ^^ (as long as your case is big enough of course xD)

    OK, thank you very much for your help. By the way, is the ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 1GB good as a graphics card? It's for playing games like GTA 4 or Battlefield 3 or 4.

      If your budget is around €100, it's better to get the equivalent of an HD7770 but newer, which means a R7 260X. Otherwise, with Nvidia, you have the GTX 750, which is pretty good for €100. It's up to you which one you prefer. Personally, I prefer Nvidia over Radeon, but that's just my personal opinion ^^
