How do I know If a graphic card is compatible with my computer?
Hello there, This is my first time posting in here so I don't know If I'm putting this In the right place or not.

I want to get an AMD A10-6800K and was wondering if:
-My motherboard can handle it?
-Can It fit into my computer?

My motherboard type is a BIOSTAR AMD A55MD2

My computer model is: nzxt guardian 921rb
Ram: 4GB
Processor: AMD A4-5300 APU @ 3.40GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5450
Current Display: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit)

Your motherboard has FM2 socket. AMD A10-6800K needs FM2 socket. Yes it will work. I'm guessing the A10 is prob stronger than your HD 5450 so you might not be able to even use that anymore.


Yea the integrated on the A10 is leagues ahead of the HD 5450

To check if a cpu or apu is compatible with a a motherboard simple check the motherboard manufacture support site, with retail boards they usually have a list of supported cpu's along with the required bios version.
