Questions before i build pc

[Xanxus Grim]

so here's the pc that i have already decided on building, if some parts aren't there it means i haven't decided it yet lol,

MOBO: asus f2a55-m lk2 plus
CPU: amd a8-6600k
RAM: Kingston hyperx fury 8gb kit (2x4gb)
GPU: Asus geforce gtx 750ti

so here are my questions,i don't have a pc right now, so i can't check the QVL on my phone.

1.will a gpu work if it is PCIE3.0 and mobo has 2.0?

2.does the chipset of the mobo need to match the ram in order for it to work? aside from being physically compatible

3. MOBO has SATA 1 will HDD's with SATA 2&3 Work with it? what else should i consider before getting an HDD, like its compatibilty

4. is Kingston a QV of asus? can't check it now because i don't have PC.

5.Is everything i listed conpatible with each other?


that'd be all

First we would like to know how much you can spend and at which resolution and graphics quality you'd love to play games at? Or which games in general?

Answers:

1) Yes, PCIe is backward compatible, you shouldn't have any worries there
2) It's not so much a match as a compliment, there are limitations to what ram can be used etc. but that's all sorted out when checking QML or QVL's
3) SATA drives are also backward compatible so a SATA III drive will work but only at SATA speed (150 MB/s)
4) Yes, Kingston has ram kits for just about every computing machine out there. I'm under the impression you need DDR2 ram which is getting harder to find new - Kingston and Crucial would be your best bets if looking for DDR2 (If DDR3, never mind)
5) I think I would need to see exact hardware specs before saying yes here

Sorry if my answers seem so generic but, hope it helps some

pairing an apu with a discrete gpu is kind of silly if you havent purchased components yet.

you should be buying an fm2+ board & a 760k or 860k without the embedded graphics (they come at a cheaper price because of this)

what country are you from ??

tahnk you so much guys for answering, i just want low end gaming at 1080p, i am from the philippines and this is what i can only afford, maybe a bit more, so, is my pc compatible? i mean the components, and these are the only things available in my country, i think

 

[Xanxus Grim]

i'm sorry i meant to say these are the only things that is available, affordable for me , and not bad i think in my country

the components will work together yes - the motherboard may require a bios update to run the cpu though - this can always be a problem on lower end older model motherboards.
If you could find a fm2+ board this would remove any worry of that happening.

thank you, but i checked the mobo's support for CPUs and the CPU i mentioned was there so there shouldn't be a problem,i think, not really good at pcs lol, i just know a bit, so this thread really helped me alot thanks guys
