i know you can only use DDR3  on DDR3 boards. and  i had it from a friend but would it be smarter to buy the board with the gpu i have and the cpu and just buy new ram

...Yes

 

In topics like these you have to give us all the variables. We don't know what you have or what's going on in your life

i know that im just saying i have it but would the board you suggested support my gpu

The AM4 board from what I posted supports the gpu, yes. Any modern consumer motherboard will work with any graphics card (generally). So the only thing you need to "worry" about compatibility wise is between the socket type/chipset on motherboard and the cpu

You can buy an FX-8350 for $70 USD new on Amazon right now (probably cheaper used on eBay.)  That way you don't need to spend all your money trying to upgrade.

Thing is though, OP didnt tell anyone they have their hands on a 9400 right now

You should reinstall windows, but other than that no.

You might want a new power supply too depending what unit you have currently. Can't imagine it would be too great if youre still rocking a weaker fx system

Corsair makes lots of PSU models, bro. If its anything like a TXm/RMx then you're all good, otherwise if its a VS-series then I'll be a little bit concerned.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600  Heatsink: ID-Cooling Frostflow X GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 Mini 6GB RAM: KLEVV Bolt 3600Mhz (2x8GB) Mobo: ASUS B550-F ROG Strix (Wifi)  Case: Fractal Design Meshify C PSU: Deepcool DQ-M-V2L

@LukeSavenije Just to bring you back in here. Maybe you have some other input aside from mine, or to combat mine

if he has a microcentre store close, he can get it cheaper

 

otherwise agree
