i want to get a Asus A88XM-PLUS because i bought a A10 6800k thinking my FM2 motherboard would accommodate it, but it does not, i tried flashing bios, but no drivers have been released in over 2 years. i have a 300 watt psu which i will upgrade at some point, but i am short of cash. i need to know if the these specs will work;
Asus A88XM-PLUS
A10-6800k
300 watt psu
the ram from a pavilion p6-2310ea
no gpu at the moment

looks like a10-6800k will work with a88xm-plus. the RAM is likely 1066 or 1333. but at least it's DDR3. the motherboard says it supports 1333, but no mention of 1066. it'll probably work a little slower, but no guarantees if the RAM you have is 1066. with no GPU, and a 100W CPU, 300W should be fine- just make sure you have sufficient connectors for everything.

the ram is 1600, the pc i have now is a HP pavilion p6-2310ea, im just not sure if the ram is universal to all ddr 3 motherboards, because i have had trouble with HP products in the past only being compatible with other HP products

here is a link to the pc i have now. all i want to do is change the motherboard really. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp_ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03511113-14%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.tpst=ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01&ac.admitted=1410901233803.876444892.199480143
