Will your computer work with this new graphics card specs processor amd phemon 4x 8gb ram Asus 3.0 motherbord new item gtx 650?

For the compatibility, the revision number isn't the first thing I would look at. You need to get the model number of your motherboard and go to ASUS' site and find the page for that motherboard. There will be a link to compatibilty specifcations which has a list of all the CPUs and memory types that ASUS guarantees to be compatible with that board. That's the best place to go. If you get a new motherboard and pick a random type of memory that ASUS did not explicitly state as compatible, they'll say "sorry, it's your problem." One useful tool is Pcpartpicker, which you can just google. It has a tool to pick computer parts and it tries to automatically determine if they're all compatible. For the absolute final verdict, however, use the ASUS specs.
