is my Asus M5A97 R2.0 compatible with Ryzen 7?

Nope, you need a new motherboard (b350 or x370) and ddr4 ram.

Of course, not. That is old AM3 motherboard. How can it be compatible?

[Cathulhu]

No, the RyZEN CPUs do not even physically fit onto your mainboard.

And can I use my 2 4G RAM Kingston HyperX DDR3 CL9 DIMM 1600 MHZ on that new motherboard

Thank you!

And can someone recommend me some good asus motherboards or some other and the size needs to be big like my old motherboard for ryzen processor, for 2x 8gb of ddr4 ram and my Asus Strix RX480 8GB graphic card.

$800 all from newegg, you get R7 1700, 2x8GB 3000mhz, B350 motherboard by MSI, and GTX 1060 6GB because it's cheaper by upto $100, because miners cause the price hike for the RX cards.

Also the performance between the GTX 1060, and RX 580, are very similar, in some games AMD will do better, in other games Nvidia does better, but the price gap of $100, isn't justifiable just for a small gap, depending on the games.

If you're just wanting a quick mobo/cpu/DDR4 swap ^.

The Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX mobo is good enough too but a few $s more.
