I'm upgrading my computer so I need to know if the ASUS M599X EVO R2.0 will work with the AMD FX-8320? Also can the M599X support the Radeon HD 7770 AND the GTX 750ti? Not at the same time it's just that I currently have the 7770 but will later be upgrading again to a 750ti.
 
Solution
If your MB BIOS is 1006 or later, it will support the FX-8320: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/HelpDesk_CPU/
Either gfx card will be fine with that MB.

OK. The point I was trying to make was that if you buy the MB and the processor from a large online retailer like Newegg, it will be new stock and the MB will surely have a late BIOS. It should work fine.

However, if the MB is from somewhere that has old stock, there's always the slight possibility that the MB still has an older BIOS. So when you install the FX-8320, it may not be recognized. Slim chance of that happening, but possible. In that case, you would not have a working system to do the BIOS update until you installed a recognized (older) CPU.
