Compatibility between old motherboard with new GPU

[Gauss1997]

Hi everyone, I want to use the next configuration in a PC for mining ethereum. The motherboard, the cpu chip and the RAM memory are old but they were working, but the GPU and the PSU will be new. How can I know if there will be any compatibility problem between the GPU and the rest of the components? Can I damage the new ones if I try to use them together?

Old components:
Motherboard ASUS M2N-X PLUS
CPU AMD Athlon 64 x2
RAM 4GB DDR2

New ones:
PSU AEROCOOL KCAS 700W 80 PLUS (53A/+12V)
GPU XFX Radeon RX570 8GB DDR5 RS *** Edition

Any comment will be helpful!

Thanks

Hello Gauss1997,

The GPU will work but you will have a terrible bottleneck between the GPU, the CPU and RAM.

The PSU I wouldn`t recommend be used anywhere near a computer that had an add on GPU.

Hello phillpower2! Thanks for your reply. Will the botteneck affect the performance of the GPU for mining?
In that case I think maybe I could buy a new motherboard for an new generation Intel processor (maybe a Celeron 9th) and add a 8gb DDR4 RAM Memory

Would you put the PSU separetely from the rest of the elements? Maybe in a rack?

Hello Gauss1997,

The answer provided was only in response to your compatibility concerns I`m afraid, mining is not something I can advise on but others here may be able to.

The PSU, keep it for testing purposes but don`t use it in a build that you value
