HI,
Can I please know if these parts are compatable with eachother?
AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Socket AM3+ 14MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
with
MSI Radeon R9 380 GAMING 4GB GDDR5 Dual-Link DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
with
My motherboard: Acer RS880M05
I don't know my case, if I figure out, i will post, but are these compatible with eachother?
 
Solution
No, the motherboard you listed has an AM3 socket. The FX 6300 needs a AM3+ Socket. This is an ideal motherboard:

For the motherboard what do I need to consider? (For a new one)
Is it just whether it can fit in the case?
