Yet ANOTHER "is my build OK?" posting. This is my first from the ground up build. A few things that are set in stone about this due to my wishes and needs... The CPU is already purchased. No budging. This WILL be a Micro-ATX build for portability and once I build another, more beastly PC, this...

So...sound build then?

INTRO: OK. I am pretty much ready to order all the parts for my new build. I will list the parts first, then describe what I plan to do. PLEASE NOTE: I have already purchased the CPU, so suggesting a different CPU in any way is pointless. I am building around this CPU. Any other suggestions are...

OK, I am building a new PC. I have pretty much everything picked out. The CPU is already purchased, so please don't recommend other CPUs or ask "why do you want that one?" Based on a couple weeks of research, it fits my needs and budget best. What I need is, based on the list of parts below, a...

Well, I just bout the Richland based 760k. No benchmarks for it exist yet. I am new to both benchmarking and OCing, but will do so and get the info out there. :)

Thank you.

760k, Black Edition... This: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00D7BYMB2 But sold in the US.

I have heard about a recent AMD CPU (NOT APU) for the FM2 socket. An Athlon x4, based off of the Richland arch. But I cannot find where to buy it in the US. Only found one place: amazon.co.uk Help?

Fair enough answer. Could you provide a link to buy that processor? i cannot seem to find it.

OK. So just to be clear: the APUs graphics will use the MoBo RAM, and the GPU will use it's own. So I will want faster RAM on the MoBo either way. And as long as the GPU is compatible, it should run better with Dual Graphics then just the APU or the GPU alone.

So you are recommending against an APU entirely?
