I have two questions actually :

1- Can this motherboard work fine with
Processor : AMD FX-8350
and
Graphic card : HD 7850 ?

2- Is 500w Power Supply good for those thing ?

No. The motherboard is an Intel z87 board whereas you need an amd fm2/fm2+ motherboard for the fx8350. ii) I would suggest going for 600w for some headroom.

I would suggest an i5 4670k with the mobo over the 8350 if you haven't bought it yet.

1) Absolutely not. The Z87 Board is for Intel LGA 1150 CPUs. The FX-8350 is an AMD AM3+socket and hence physically cannot be installed into that motherboard. The board can only accept 1150 socket intel cpus. The cpus you can install into that board are here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu/#k=24
If you want a board for your AMD FX-8350 I suggest an AMD M5A99X or M5A99FX Pro R2.0 motherboard. Here it is:

The Graphics card will work fine on that board though - it is just the pci-e x16 interface which all boards nowadays have.




2) Depending on WHICH 500W powersupply you are buying (make, model etc), if its a good quality unit then it will be fine for a 8350 + 7850 but won't give you much room for upgrades. I suggest a 600W unit to allow upgrade headroom.

You are right that the 8350 will not work in a z87 motherboard, but the FX 8350 is socket AM3+ not FM2. A good 500w PSU is more than enough for a system with a 7850.

The FX-8350 is an AM3+ socket and NOT fm2/fm2+

Sorry! It was a case of oversight. Won't happen again. Promise!
