Here the stuff:
Mother board: ASRock FM2A78M-HD+ FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 (Bolton D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor: AMD A6-5400K Trinity Dual-Core 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 65W Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7540D
Ram: G.SKILL Value 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C11S-4GNT (1x)
Graphic card: MSI R9 270X GAMING 2G Radeon R9 270X 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Power supply: Help
Hard drive: Gonna use my friends if that works
Case: my friends old case is good enough for air flow buts its the box.
Questions:
Does any hard drive work a standard hard drive?
Does any Graphic card work with PSI x16?

Yeah the problem with doing that means you will have to get a AM 3+ mobo which doesnt have a PCIe 3.0 which is required for that GPU. It maybe cheaper but you will be upgrading again in a few months. Go with the A6/270x combo it will last a bit longer and you wont have to upgrade mobo,cpu,and graphics card in a few months. This is false information you don't need a 3.0 slot to run any card their backwards compatible. Your not going to saturate a 2.0 slot with a 270X or even a 290
The A6 5400K does not support PCI 3.0 so no matter what board you buy it will still only run the PCI-e slot at 2.0 it also has no L3 cache.

Integrated peripherals / components
Integrated graphics ◾GPU Type: Radeon HD 7540D
Shader cores: 192
Base frequency (MHz): 760
Memory controller ◾The number of controllers: 1
Memory channels: 2
Supported memory: DDR3-1866
Maximum memory bandwidth (GB/s): 29.9
Other peripherals ◾ PCI Express 2.0
◾ Unified Video Decoder 3.2 ?
You are right. I completely missed the fact that the A6-5400k is an FM2 not an FM2+ my bad.
