I suggest you start over with your build. AMD APUs are designed for budget oriented machines like media machines and office machines. They aren't designed for medium to high end gaming and your GPU is going to be bottlenecked to hell. Oh and that PSU is an IED. Go with something like Thermaltake, Antec or Silver Stone. I'd suggest something like this: Motherboard: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130653[/url] CPU: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116782[/url] You can use the RAM you picked out and the GPU.
If you just want to game, maybe a dual core intel processor (for budget) and a hd 7760 or something. APU's depend largely on the amount of ram you have.
