Hello I’m new to selecting parts and kinda doing a budget build and I was wondering if these PC parts are fine and compatible with one another?

•Mother Board - Gigabyte AMD FM2+ A68H SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 mATX ATX DDR3 2133 NA Motherboards GA-F2A68HM-H
•CPU Cooler - AMD A-Series A6-7400K Heat Sink Fan
•Battery - Corsair Builder CX430 PSU

•Hardrive - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1000GB 1TB Internal 7200RPM 3.5" WD10EALX HDD
•Case - Xion (XON-310_BK) Mid-Tower Case
 
[Wolfshadows]Thanks for the reply, the only reason I have is that i’m trying to not spend as much money at the moment, if there’s any recommendations in the parts I could switch, i’ll be happy to hear?
 
Here's the problem. You try to save money today, only to have to spend more tomorrow. It's certain that the newest AMD processors are not compatible with the motherboard you've chosen, so an upgrade would either be more wasted money or more in the form of a new motherboard and new RAM.

While nothing is ever certain about current components, there's still a chance of a current motherboard being compatible with future AMD processors and RAM.

Try to save now and you will spend more later to upgrade (new motherboard/CPU/RAM).
Spend more now and there's a chance you can upgrade later at much less cost (perhaps only the CPU).

If you're looking for suggestions, we'd need a budget.

Generally the 'cheapest' way to go would be to go with a AMD 2200G, a B350 motherboard and a decent DDR4 2x4GB kit.

Wolfshadw, honestly with the budget I currently can spend is around $300-$350 I don’t know if that makes a major difference, but I’ll keep saving until I can buy up to date parts.
 


If you're in the US, then I really don't see anything wrong with rvilkman's suggestions, though I'd probably up to 16GB of RAM and then a Ryzen 5 if you're still under budget.

Are there any parts you can salvage from your current build?
