I'm planning on getting a decent desktop PC, heres the specs the shop gave me;
CPU: AMD A10 6790k
MOBO: gigabyte F2A55M-DS2
8GB standard ddr3 MEMORY
HDD 500 GB SATA
GPU: GT740 2GB ddr5 128 bit or GTX 750 2GB ddr5 128 bit
Is there an issue regarding this specs like overheating,incompatibility of CPU, MOBO and GPU.
I’m considering also this specs:
CPU: AMD FX 6300
MOBO: Msi880GMSE-41
8GB standard ddr3 memory
HDD 500 GB sata
GPU: MSI GTX 750 2gb ddr5 128bit
Which specs is better? Im not into ultra settings kind of stuff, just a nice graphics physics and smooth gameplay will do.im plannig to play mostly FPS games like BF4, skyrim, murdered soul suspect, tomb raider.watchdogs and third person games.

If you haven't purchased the mobo yet I wouldn't advise you to buy it now since the sale ended.
This is cheaper and it's better. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
If you already purchased it, then all is well. As for the drivers, the cpu will work, but you would want to update your drivers.

Do we always need to download drivers for the MOBO to support CPU? or is it already supported. is it just an update?

Also, I would reccomend a different motherboard. Like I really do mean, you should not get that msi board for the fx 6300... It's not officially supported for the board. http://us.msi.com/support/mb/880GME41.html#support-cpuI will get maybe your recommended motherboard Asus M5A97 LE R2.0. or look for other budget MOBO thats fully compatible/supports FX6300. Another question does amd still producing AM3+ socket based processor and MOBO? if not I might have problem in the future in case my CPU fails.

Thank you for the advice rybo,I will settle for the FX 6300. Theres a package Ive already inquired it will cost me just Php16,250 ($almost 400)I will just upgrade some components and add a GPU. BTW does the stock cooler of FX6300 ok? i dont plan on overclocking.Thanks
If you plan to run stock clocks, and have at least some airflow in the case, then for sure!

Order it quick, you can get it 60$ after MIR
So its much better if I choose my second option? Does the diffrenece in performance with this two rig noticeable? in terms of application,multimedia or gaming?
Don't buy an apu if you're going to drop in a gpu.
That's why I would suggest your second option
