yes the board is compatible yes so you will be able to save your money there. Although if you get the chance I would look to upgrade it at some point.

For the PSU if you haven't got it already I would avoid using it as those extreme power PSUs not well known for their reliability and I personally would want to be sure I have a PSU that isn't going to die and potentially take all my other components with it costing more money in the long run. See this thread here for more detail. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/351079-28-cooler-master-extreme-power-500w

I personally would look for something at the 500w mark from seasonic if you can. Far better to be safe than sorry when it comes to these things :)

Else I would look at choosing...

Can I ask why you are wanting to use this OEM motherboard specifically? And not something more typical from the enthusiast market i.e. ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte etc.

The board you are look at is more for office based work stations rather than the gaming/enthusiast market. I get that you already have it for free but it's really not designed in my eyes for what you would want it for.

It has extremely limited features in comparison to most motherboards. but yes I will work but I still cannot get my head around why you would choose to use a board like that with nice new higher end components like the RX480 and i7 6700

Also what make and model of 500w PSU are you going for? As going for a cheap brand can end very badly.

Thank you for your replay, I am using this motherboard as it was a part of the Fujitsu P556 Desktop that i had. I am from Egypt and now the dollar rate is very High, so for example your MB [Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming] is 7,400 L.E, and this is a very crazy price. For the PS, it is Cooler Master: Extreme Power Plus 500W.

I paid a lot for the other components, so i am just trying to minimize the cost as i can.

So i know that i cant overclock my processor and Graphics card with this motherboard, but it will work without problems?

Thank you again for your replay.

Else I would look at choosing something from either tier 1 or 2 from this list linked here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
