ASUS FM2+ A88XM-PLUS Graphics Card Compatibility

[maxmanmacaw]

Will my Asus A88xm-plus FM2+ Socket AMD MotherBoard support a Sapphire NITRO RX480 8gb graphics card?


The current spec is as follows:

Asus A88XM-PLUS Motherboard
AMD FM2+ Kaveri A10-7700K Black Edition 3.5 GHz Processor
16gb Corsair Vengeance Pro (4x4gb) of 1866 MHz DDR3 RAM
MSI nVidia GTX 950 2gb
Samsung 850 EVO SATA 6GBS S 2.5 SSD 250GB
2 TB Hitachi HDD (cant remember model)
Crappy PSU.........Novatech 500W ATX Power Supply (500W, Unrated, Non-Modular)

I am also planning to upgrade the cpu to APU A10-7870K Quad Core at the same time!

your motherboard will yes.

will your psu? we don't have enough info

based off the motherboard no mater what cpu you have that gpu is kind of a waste but if your psu is good enough it will run. your cpu(what ever it is) will limit that gpu though

Okay!
This is a pc that I built for for my son some time back! he has now outgrown it and wants an upgrade, so I was going to upgrade the CPU and the Graphics Card! I know also that the ram needs upgrading but just want to improve the system the cheapest and easiest way that I can!
