Compatible graphics card?

Hi

So as usual and to not change: a PCI-E graphics card goes in a PCI-E 16x slot, which has been present on almost all motherboards for the past 6 or 7 years...

The ATX power supply works with an ATX motherboard, µATX/MicroATX, miniITX, and others too...

As for the RAM, you have to try to be sure, but there is very little chance that it won't work.

What I doubt is the sufficient power of the A8-6600K processor with an R9 280...

Hello,

Normally, the power supply shouldn't be a problem (note that 500W may not be sufficient, your processor is clocked at 3.9 GHz and therefore consumes a lot.
The graphics card can be an issue due to its size, so check the dimensions - if it fits in the case.
The RAM is DDR3, so it's compatible, but if you already have some on your motherboard, check the frequency (1600, 1800...) because you should know that if you have one stick at 1600, for example, and you add one at 1800, the second one will automatically run at 1600 and you'll lose some performance.

So normally there shouldn't be a problem, the only components that can really cause compatibility issues are the motherboard and the processor; they need to have the same socket, but you already have those, so it seems good :)

Check the detailed specifications of your motherboard here: https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00158144.html

Have a nice day.

It's better to provide the specifications through the manufacturer's website ^^

What graphics card do you recommend instead of the R9? Compatible with the rest, of course.

For me (that's just my personal opinion), Nvidia is better in terms of compatibility and software support but a bit more expensive
Check out the Nvidia GTX 760 in the same price range for good performance.

Well, I’m not sure, considering that an i5-4670K is between 1.3 and 1.8 times more powerful than an A8-6600K (http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/443/AMD_A8-Series_A8-6600K_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-4670K.html), I think you shouldn’t aim too high with the graphics card, otherwise it will be CPU limited in some games...

In your place, I would look more at the cards from previous generations (GTX660) rather than the 750 series because they are low-performing cards that were released between two generations.
