i'm looking to upgrade my pc and i dont really want to buy another motherboard so i'm wondering if this would all fit nicely?

CPU- AMD FX-8320 8 Core

GPU-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 OC Edition 4GB

PSU-Corsair CX-600 Modular 80+ Bronze Power Supply

RAM-8GB Dedicated
 
...you want to tell us what motherboard you actually have, so we can tell you if it will work? :p


That being said, the graphics card doesn't matter as long as the motherboard has a PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 slot, which anything even remotely modern will. The CPU actually has to fit into the socket of the motherboard, so is a lot more picky.
 
Good job. ;)

If that's made by ECS, then it's the one I think it is, in which case...

No. It has serious issues. It's a $34 motherboard, which you want to pair with a $200 CPU? While it has the correct socket, I would be very surprised if it had either the BIOS or power support for a high end chip like that, and could cause some serious issues.

Also, just throwing out there, why are you spending extra for a 4GB card? That doesn't make it go faster. Racing stripes do that; everybody knows this. ;)
