That's your motherboard. If you want an R5 you are going to need a new motherboard, new RAM and a new CPU

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

That will work with chips using the AM4 socket. You will not be able to use any Intel CPU in that motherboard, they use different sockets

Depends on what you want to spend, the R5 2600 is the one thats generally considered the most value

ddr4 ram if you don't have it already (assuming your old one was that am3(+) you don't)

any 3000+ mhz 16 gb kit will do

nope, that thing is not meant for your workload, at all. no vrm heatsinks for example isn't going to be nice... the pro4 is a better choise here

Not great on B450 boards, that one probably works but it dosnt seem great. Id look at what ASRock has to offer. You will need some DDR4 too

i just hope my graphics card fits on the motherboard.. i was told they all pretty much are universal and fit on anyboard 
i ended up getting 
https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-Fan-Gaming-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=pd_sbs_147_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01JHQT1SE&pd_rd_r=71a45dc0-2605-11e9-898b-bde429f25e46&pd_rd_w=0XUSg&pd_rd_wg=Q1hhH&pf_rd_p=588939de-d3f8-42f1-a3d8-d556eae5797d&pf_rd_r=BYNVH3KA2ZGFQ1G1D3P9&psc=1&refRID=BYNVH3KA2ZGFQ1G1D3P9

from someone online in california who bought it for black friday but never used it.. he had it for $180 but i told him if i bought it right now would he do $120 and $12 shipping and he said sure.. got it and it was still unopened in the newegg box he just put tape over his own info and put my label for shipping over that lol

ive had it afew weeks now and it runs great! the fans are kinda noisy but by the time a game is on i never notice it
it runs around 65 temp

without a problem. if it fits in your case, it can fit on the motherboard. that does sound like a great deal tho and should be a really nice combo.

i sure hope is a good combo.. i had the 1050 3gb and it runs the same as the 1060.. was told its the CPU thats holding it back.. so i hope it all works out

i still have a 450 power supply will that still work with those 2 new things? i had ordered a 650 but then i was told it was too much power to use the one i had.. lol

it is a logisys power supply.. i dont know the wattage the guy who made the computer i asked him before and he said maybe its a 450
i tried to take it out but id need to unhook everything to see the information on the power box cause of the way its inside the computer case
he lives in another state so theres no way i can get him to take it out

maybe i should just get a 550 and leave it at that? once the card prices drop i want to sell my 1050 and my 1060 and get a 1080..
right now i cant play any games on my computer other than world of warcraft.. anything else just lags to where i cant do anything
its really depressing ive spent $1000 on it so far i couldve built one myself for the same price and it be updated version
