Yes. Just make sure the power supply has enough PCIe power connectors.

Your motherborad may not Your motherboard may not have the updated bios (7A40vA7 and above) that adds support for 3000 series cpus. Since your motherboard doesn't seem to have a flash bios button, you will need a compatible cpu/apu (except for those noted in the link above).

Still, it's worth giving it a shot, though.

If Techpowerup is right, that is a Zotac 1660s Destroyer HY HA.

RX 470/480/570/580 or GTX 1060 6gb should be similar performers for about the same price.

What specific message(s) do you get?

You can wait for the release of the 5000 series to see if the prices for last gen chips will drop.

Sorry for the late reply. The TX 750 should come with two 8 pin (6+2) PCIe cables, so you should have no problem powering (probably) any graphics card out there. They are both similar performes, so I'm assuming you are concerned about vram limitation. If not, what do you fell it's going to...

If the pricing of RX 470/480/580 is better, consider one of those cards. Just make sure your power supply has enough connectors (RX 570 Nitro+, for example, has a 6+8pin requirement). But to answer your question, the 1060 should be slightly faster and draw slightly less power, but I recommend...

In that budget you may be able to fit a 2nd/3rd gen i5 prebuilt and maybe even a 750ti. If you want to go this route and upgrade it later down the line, consider one with a 24 pin connector motherboard.

You really should consider a third party psu. Even something like Evga's BR units would be enough for your build.

Have you tried booting with the integrated graphics using either cpu?

You can get a 12nm Ryzen 1600 for 25 euros less and minimal performance loss (although you might want to check out some benchmarks before).

It won't boost the performance, but it will improve the loading times.

Are the ram sticks from the same kit? Is there any overclock or bios tweaking? What specific cpu error is it? Perhaps there is some debris in the dimm slots. Try cleaning those with a brush or something like that.
