Yup, but the motherboard does not have PCIE 3?

does really matter there no differnce in 2.0 and 3.0

The difference is that Pci-e 3.0 has double the bandwith than 2.0. Given that build, i think it won't be a drawback.

i think that if you are going to make an upgrade that would fully use PCIE3. you may want to update the rest of your hardware as well anyways.

thats my thoughts anyway,

Last time i checked, you needed a CPU to support pci-e 3.0. I don't know AMD's way of doing things, but on the Intel side only the Ivy Bridge and up supports PCI-E 3.0.

If you are looking at using the integrated GPU, just spend the little extra for 1866 memory as it makes a slight difference for APUs.

so u think i should change the ram form 1600mhz to 1866mhz
