Hello!

 

I have been planning new AMD computer for low and medium-end gaming. League of legends and that sort of stuff. So it's not gonna be the gaming rig 2016 but needed to handle some gaming. Due this is my first AMD build, i have been wondering if my components are compatible with each other.

 

My components are going to be:

 

Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H FM2+ or Asus A88XM-A FM2+

 

AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz (maybe going to do some OC'ing for 4,0-4,5GHz)

 

AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB PCI-E x16 (i know it's gonna be bottleneck but im gonna upgrade that later to Radeon R9 380 or something like that)

 

Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz

 

Corsair 650W VS650

 

Maxtor HDD 200GB 7200rpm

 

Case is still mystery, something like BitFenix Comrade or Nova

 

So, im asking if motherboard, cpu and gpu are compatible together. Im gonna use DVI-I > VGA adapter due the lack of DVI or HDMI monitor

 

Thanks for help already!

The PSU is rubbish, Corsair's VS series are worse than the CX series. You'll fair much better with a 500W SeaSonic or XFX PSU instead.

 

And yes, your parts are compatible.

Okay thanks for help, im going to buy better psu then. I am still wondering that my local PC-store's website says "To support PCI Express 3.0, you must install an FM2+ APU". So will my PCIe 2.0 Radeon still in PCIe x16 with no problem. Just asking so i dont buy next motherboard later due incompability. Thank you for help

No, it should all be compatible. I don't see why it shouldn't.
