Hello i just want to ask if an asus rx 460 2gb will fit in to a FM2-A55M-E33 because i tried an amd 6850hd on this motherboard but the sata on the hdd blocket it. And if an athlon x4 860K will fit in the motherboard too. If it has a support for this cpu. Because i want to upgrade the cpu and the gpu.
Motherboard FM2-A55M-E33 support.

If you are going to spend money on upgrading then upgrade out of your fm2 hole. I understand that it will also cost money for new memory but it is worth it.
That 860k is the BEST you can get for your platform and it cant even beat a 3 year old core i3.
At this point you would be better off getting an intel pentium g4560 or even better an i3-7100. This will provide you with better perormacne today and an actual upgrade path for the future.

That board does not support the 860k, the fastest CPU it supports is the 760k. As for fitting a GPU if you get a short RX 460 it should work, or you need to get an angled SATA cable like this:

Personally I would save my money and buy something else (new motherboard and CPU).

AM3+ is even more of a waste of money.
Intel MIGHT have a bit of a price drop when Ryzen comes out this week. Emphasis on might.
Either way even if you get an i3-6100 and an H110 motherboard (can be had for $200) you'll demolish anything you could do with your current system.

RX 480 would be fine with it. minor bottleneck but nothing that would affect playability, just might decrease max fps a little.

Both GPUs will bottleneck, it doesn't matter, they both will perform fine and the bottleneck will not cause noticeable performance issues. I would go for the RX 480 this way if you ever decide to upgrade the processor you have a GPU that can keep up with it.
