No the parts. The athlon x4 doesn't use Zen, and an A320 board is basically garbage with electricity running through it.

The cheapest athlon you should consider is the Athlon 200GE, and I really recommend the Ryzen 3 1200 and a cheap B350 board at the very least. Try that combo instead.

the athlon x4 i had is more expensive than the 200 ge and the ryzen 3 is 3.1ghz  rather than the athlon x4 which is 3.5 ghz so the cpu sould be fine shouldnt it? the board works well though.

The athlon x4 is on an older architecture. I didn't realize it was more expensive so I'll be more specific. Don't buy an AMD CPU outside of the Zen family. The athlon x4 uses an old architecture, so the .4 GHz advantage goes out the window with the less efficient architecture. Also, that board works, but by no means works well. $5 more for a B350 will go a long way.
