MotherBoard Compatibilities

[Theerix]

There is this motherboard, BIOSTAR A68N-2100 AMD E1-2100 Dual-Core APU Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU/VGA Combo ,,, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G3RH4642

I am trying to put together a VERY VERY cheap pc for my friend to do some minor homework on. I was wondering if windows 10 or linux would run using this motherboard and apu combo.

I also want to get this graphics card as an upgrade.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83U90884&cm_re=evga_geforce_gt_610-_-14-130-815-_-Product

This graphics card has 1 GB video ram. is that enough?

So,

Q, #1: Can I use windows 10 or linux on this mother board if i wanted to? Will it work?

Q, #2: Is the graphics card going to work without any problems if i just plug it in? and dose the gpu has enough vram?

Q, #3: What wattage should the power supply unit be? I heard that 300 was good for something like this.

#1- theres no reason the mobo would affect sofware compatibility, so yes, you can run win10 or linux

#2 - that gpu is about as powerful as integrated graphics. if its just for homework, there no reason to even have a gpu. you could better spend that money on an ssd.

#3 - the cpu and gpu cant be over 50W tdp each, so yes, 300w is enough.

That GPU will thrash that mobile apu from 2013.

Buy a used PC with a core2 duo and 4GB of ram,  it should cost around $50 and it will preform much better. 

 

That APU combo is for embedded machines that don't need to be fast,  but use basically no power.

That reminds me: q6600s sell for around $20

Most LGA 775 motherboards cannot support quad cores sadly.
