So I want to buy a GPU for my PC and the GTX750 caught my eye, I was taking a look at my motherboard manual (ASUS A58M-5) and I see that the PCIe 3.0 its only compatible with FM2+ CPU's would there be any issue if I run the GTX 750 with my AMD A10-5800k?

PD: no crossfire, just running the GTX750 by it self
 
1: PCI-E is backwards compatible. So any PCI-E card works in all PCI-E slots.

2: NVidia uses SLI, not Crossfire
2.5: You can't even SLI GTX750

3: It would be better to take GTX 750Ti. There shouldn't be much price difference. Even better would be 950 but can understand if you can't afford it.
 


Oh and: of course you need to be sure the PSU can handle it.
Which it can as long as it has at least 350W output and at least 1x 6-pin PCI-E power cable. (Some GTX750TI versions need it, but most need none)

It is sort of better to stick with a all AMD system since the gpus newer than the HD-4870 use the same driver as the integrated gpu that is built into the apu.

Nvidia forces physx to be disabled if you have a amd gpu like your igp in the system.

It is the classic AMD vs. Nvidia thing and AMD also disables open cl when a nvidia card is present. There is also the AMD vs. Intel thing too, often the intel compilers favor intel cpus or disable things like SSE extensions if it's a amd cpu.

The 3 companies will likely never play nice together and are always trying to outdo or cripple each other.

You can get physx working again but you must totally disable the igp in the bios.

So far mantle and support for using the integrated gpu as a cpu has limited support. This could change with future games if support for this improves.
