Guys i have an asrock 980de3/u3s3 motherboard with an am3+ cpu socket and a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot(http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/980).

I searched for sometime and found AMD FX-8350 CPU(http://products.amd.com/en-us/search/CPU/AMD-FX-Series/AMD-FX-8-Core-Black-Edition/FX-8350/92)...

... and graphics card SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon™ R7 370 4G D5(http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=16D0F59E-F6D6-4DAA-B505-D9CB1AE63A41&lang=eng).

Will it work fine along with my motherboard. I dont know for sure if motherboard supports this cpu and graphics card without any issues. Many thanks in advanced.

Yes they should both work.

Yes they should both work.

Even though the graphics card is compatible with PCIe 3.0 x16 slot? Cause my motherboard has a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot

Thank you very much pal. I'm also worried about the temperatures. Many critics about this AMD CPU suggest an extra cooler especially in gaming situations. I dont know about the graphics card yet but with this set do you know or somenone else if i need or must get an extra cooler or something to be fine with the temperatures?

I would recommend getting something like the cooler master hyper 212 evo because I think those cpus run warm on the stock cooler, and the gpu should be ok. Also don't forget to pick the best solution so people know that this has been solved.
