Forgive my ignorance but will a radeon card fit my mobo thx
yes it will. however be aware that large video cards probably wont fit into small cases (usually their length is too long - like 330mm!). So determine what case you be using a get a video card that will fit the case (or buy the video card first and then make sure to get a case that will house that card).

Ah yes it's Gsync. The monitor is the best thing I've ever bought for a pc.
Gsync is for Nvidia cards whereas radeon cards can use freesync. However that doesn't mean a radeon card wont work in a gsync monitor - because it will work (you will see the picture displayed) - its just that feature for matching the refresh between the monitor and card wont be available.

it sounds like its a good monitor and gives a good display and should also give a good display with a radeon card. I am finding that every time I upgrade my gpu that the picture is displayed better, so more modern gpu = better picture (despite keeping the monitor the same)

Thanks I have already assembled into a large case that's why I was originally looking for a standard size mobo but it seems they run no faster.

yes you are correct, standard ATX sized mobo's run no faster. I have put mATX and mini ITX's into a ATX case as they were cheaper and I didn't need the extra RAM or PCI slots.
