can anyone tell me if this motherboard CPU combo will work?

Hi, Just got a used Rift and found my system not up to speed.  Not as bitter as some people posting in here, so willing to make some upgrades but don't want to spend too much.  Found a motherboard CPU combo that is reasonably priced but don't want to get anything unless I'm sure it will work. 
 AMD 7th Gen A8 9500 APU Processor and MSI A320 Pro-VH Plus Motherboard.

Can anyone confirm or deny the functionality of this?

The chip may not be on the list it's looking for, but should work fine. Can you run the Compatibility Tool here: https://support.oculus.com/1357437467617798/ and then Save Results at the end and upload that file here?

I actually need you to upload the html file of the results. When you click "Save Results" it should make a file like on your desktop. You need to upload the file (not cut and paste the text). Thanks.

@ Cyberreality.  I am happy to comply with your request, I just can not log in using the chrome browser and Firefox does not allow me to even see the saved HTML file to upload it.  It says it is not a valid format.  Also after updating all drivers Oculus says my USB driver needs to be updated.  It is already and I am running the latest version.  Please help.

You may have to place it in a zip file, or host it on Google Drive, etc. and post a link.

@ Cybereality.  Thanks.  OK here is the file and please advise about the sensors saying an update is needed for USB drivers.  But all drivers are up to date.
