So , im building a desktop , and i got a friend of mine to choose the parts for me on a budget , but he chose a 125w cpu on a 95w motherboard and im a bit concerned if will this desktop really work , and will the parts be compatible with each other ill leave the specs here and if you guys can help me ill be very thankfull :

Cpu : He chose AMD FX 6350 wich is 125w but after i found that out i guess ill have to buy the AMD FX 6300 wich matches the 95w motherboard
Motherboard Asus M5A78L-M LX3
Case Nox Pax 3.0
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 3 64MB
SAPPHIRE RADEON RX 480 NITRO+ 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0
Power Supply Nox Urano VX 650W 120mm

I was kind of skeptic when i found that he chose a 95w motherboard for a 125w cpu at the start and then i heard something with the motherboard not being able to support sata 3 , im such a noob in these things and i just wanted to make sure , thank you.

The CPU should. Hopefully BIOS 0702 is on the mobo when you get it.

Even tho the CPU is compatible with the mobo the BIOS thats on it when you get it has to support the CPU

The videocard will work but the mobo doesnt have PCI-E 3 slots, only PCI-E 2.
