Compatibility Issue (Mobo + APU + GPU)

[aavs89]

Hello. I would like some help.
I intend to buy the following products:
APU AMD A8 6600K
MOBO MSI A55 E33
GPU XFX HD 6670 2GB DDR3
Wireless card PCIe TP LINK TL-WN781ND

The thing is, the Motherboard claims : Only FM2+ processors support PCIe 3.0. The A8 6600k is FM2.

I dont understand, will my wifi card and my gpu (2.0) work in that motherboard at the same time with my apu?

The motherboard only has
1 PCIe 3.0 x16
1 PCIe 2.0 x1
1 PCI.
I cant get other Mobo, thats all they have where I live.

Thank you for your time and help.

Well the CPU isnt on the CPU compatibility list. So its probably not compatible

Thanks for your quick answer. Acually yes it is. (11th line from top to bottom)

Im just very confused about all those PCI exceptions

FM2+ Motherboards supports FM2 CPUs.
FM2 Motherboards does not supports FM2+ CPUs.

*You have a FM2 APU and FM2 Mobo, so basically they are compatible. Just double check.

Must have been on the wrong site then. The wireless card looks like its PCI-E 1x

Everything is fully compatible.

Although it's a waste to use a dedicated graphics card with an APU. Save some money and get an Athlon X4 750k instead. It's the A8- the igpu which you don't need in any case since you have the 6670.

All the components will work together , but they may not be ideal

I would suggest you give us a budget and we may be able to find you some extra performance or cut some costs

I was expecting to spend 230-250 US$.
Thanks.
Im thinking on buying the graphics card later on, when I need an upgrade and I chose that one because it supposed to work well with the APU. Primarily I am buying the APU, the motherboard and the wireless adapter. I am concerned it wont fit together (space-wise with the GPU) and I dont know if the FM2 APU will work with the GPU PCIe 2.0 in the 3.0 slot.
Thank you for all the answers!

There are much better APU's in that price range

That is the latest processor family with improved graphics

For wifi you can just use a USB wifi device . USB is faster than wifi so it wont slow your connection speeds if you buy a capable unit

I would avoid USB wireless adapters. A lot of them are cheaply built, over heat, and have connection problems.

 

[aavs89]

Thank you guys for the answers. I will consider everything.
In conclusion, the components mentioned in the question would work together, but I can do better with the same budget?

Yesh!
