With your motherboard, you can only buy FM2 and FM2+ Processors. The graphics cards on the other hand, you can buy basically anything. Your parts listed are all compatible. If you really want to upgrade the CPU, get an Athlon X4 880K or 845, for the GPU, go for an RX 550, 560, or a GTX 1050. Note: you may need to update the BIOS before upgrading the CPU.

Unless you buy a new motherboard, you cannot use Ryzen, it is a different socket. Any graphics card should work with the motherboard. To update the BIOS, go to http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-F2A88XM-D3H-rev-30#support-dl and go to BIOS, download the F9 bios, and look to the manual for specific flashing instructions. This is only if you plan to upgrade the CPU, which from an Athlon X4 740, is probably not worth the hastle. Upgrading the GPU on the other hand, is easy to do, does not require a BIOS update, and is a more noticeable difference than a CPU upgrade would be.
