If this is your motherboard (Gigabyte-AB350-Gaming 3), it is listed on the CPU Support List.

Yes, but it will require a bios update to run the 2600x. And to update the bios on that board you will need a first gen Ryzen CPU.

You may want to check with the store/person you are buying the motherboard from and see if they will update the bios.

AMD also offers a boot kit, but it may be a pain and you will have to deal with shipping.

If it were me, to avoid the headache, I would just get a x470 board. It will have the right bios and has much better RAM compatibility than the 300 series boards. They are not that much more in the end either.

the problem is i dont have that much money and i already bought the motherboard

Use the boot kit provided by AMD. Here is the link to the program. You will have to fill out a warranty claim, but it should not cost any money, except for maybe shipping.
