    I don't see why it wouldn't fit. The board has a PCI-E x16 slot so it should fit any modern card. Not sure what squeeze you're talking about unless you mean your case is too small.

    The GTX280 is already a dual width card, as in it takes up the space of two PCI slots. Just breathe, everything will be okay.
