You need a 300 series motherboard.

You need DDR4.

You also need 8gb to even consider what you are going to do nowadays.

Psu is bad and should not be use.

The motheboard is still incompatible, and the PSU is even shittier

 

Why blue and green, when you could get better things for same price?

That's like if you had two supermarkets you trust, one selling ground beef for $1/kg less...
