Hi just wanting to check these are ok together,

Gigabyte 970A-DS3 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard

AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail

and also will Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit , work with this build as its intel memory.(i already own some)

Sorry for all these questions im still new to all this , but im going to use a SSD and a new copy of windows 8 to install on too it , but im wanting to use my old sata hdd from my intel pc which has windows 7 on, im wondering if i can keep all the data on it or will i need to wipe it.

Thank you.
 
Thanks for the replies, yes its for gaming , i was going to use the cooler that came with it as i don't really tend on overclocking it , is there a motherboard that does not need the bios update as ive seen people mention it on the comments.
 
Would one of these be any better then the first one i said, ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 ATX ,

MSI 970A-G46 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
 
Thanks for the help im just going to be a pain and ask if this would be better for games instead of amd im wanting to order today ,

Intel Core i5-4440 3.10GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail

Gigabyte H87-HD3 Intel H87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

would this be better ? i wont be overclocking.
