I am new to computer building and i am upgrading my computer. I have a really old Compaq Presario PC and inside is a Geoforce GT 520. I am getting a 

Corsair CX Series CX600 600W ATX 12V 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply,  GIGABYTE F2A88XM-D3H mATX FM2+ A88X DDR3 2PCI-E16 PCI-E1 PCI CrossFire SATA3 HDMI USB3 Motherboard, 

AMD Athlon X4 860K Black Edition 4.0/3.7GHZ 4MB 95W FM2+ Processor,

Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB 1X4GB DDR3-1333 CL9 Memory Module.

I do know AMD processors and Nvidia GPU arent the best combos to go with. But im on a budget. I just want to make sure everything goes together and everything is going to work once I put it in the computer

Your PC gives a shit about what brands you combine. That's just an internet mystery. What is not a mystery is e g: High-End AMD CPUs are enfirior to High-End Intel CPUs but this is not of importance in your case.

I would upgrade that GPU quite quickly but everything will fit. Also: It does NOT matter wether you are using different gpu/cpu brands a single bit! Your cpu will not give a damn about what brand gpu you are using. Thats one of the worst myths i've heard about PCs and its one that has to get out of peoples brains.
