So i need to to upgrade to a new motherboard, but don't have a crazy budget, my current mobo is bottle-necking the clock of my CPU so i need this new one (I've checked up, and the mobo is compatible with my CPU) but i couldn't find any information on my other parts being compatible with the mobo, now it may be as simple as sata cables, but I'm not savvy in terms of computer's internals.

Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8320
GPU: HD 7770 1gb
Hard drive: Not sure of the model, but some 1TB 60mb/s write HDD (i know its slow)
PSU: EVGA 500b

All answeres are appreciated, thanks
-Willem

Yes, they are compatible, if you are in low budget, you can get this MB too, Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P. For the HDD, as long as the SATA type you will be fine.
Even you can get the fx6300 and use the money for the better GPU, I assume you build the PC for games.
