I was wondering if you guys can help me check to see if what I've searched and gathered will work well together.(still learning how to build computers)
I'm just trying to update my old computer and i really want to make sure i am not buying something that is not compatible with the other components.( uses apu, but with FM1 socket).
If you have better recommendations, feel free to post them -

Ram:

i have a 600 watt power supply

Once i add all of this together ( if it all works fine) will 600 watt be enough, more then enough, or not enough need upgrade.

Thank you for the replies! Im still learning so any tips, advises, and recommendations will be awesome!

cpu on the list. as long as the new mb has the newest bios file your fine there.
mb has sata ports and both the hd and cd-rom are standard sata drives.
on apu and newer intel cpu fine they run better with fast ram. try getting 1866 or faster ram on the mb supported ram list.
600w is fine.

Change your ram to 1866 MHz and you should be good to go. Also...
