Question Upgrade compatibility

[Michael Ardelean]

Hi, I want to upgrade my pc. Will a rx 580 8gb work with a m5A97 LE R2.0 and a corsair CX 750 750 Watt. If it's not compatible what can you recommend me? Thanks a lot.( sorry for my bad english)

Yes it should. Just remember that board runs warm , no heatsinks on the VRM.

Short answer is yes, it will work fine. YOu won't need a new PSU, unless your current one is old. Its not the best PSU in the first place, but not bad either, and will do the job. But if over 5 years old, think of changing it.

With that said there is an important factor to consider. What CPU do you have? If it's weak, pairing it with a pretty good mid-range card like that, you may have performance issues. I wouldn't buy it unless you had a FX8350 or something, because anything else will just bring a lackluster bump in FPS, that you may regret then purchasing.

Do you think that a rx 480 8gb is a better choice is?

RX580 is just fine , motherboard is very poor quality , PSU is decent quality if it's the black and grey model. If not poor quality , but plenty of power.

Without knowing the CPU, id be hard pressed to recommend that GPU. Anything below an FX8350 is almost a waste putting it with that GPU.
