Hi there. I'm currrently in the process of building a gaming rig and my knowledge of hardware is decent. So what I was going to ask is if someone could take a quick look at the parts that I have listed and to see if they are compatible with one another.

OK, why do you have an apu in the build when you have a discrete gpu. The pc won`t use the integrated graphics and will be slightly bottlenecked.

Crap accidently chose as best answer but why would it be bottlenecked? And whats an APU? Because I have a similar system to this but the motherboard is different, thats it.

This cpu is intended to be used without a graphics card as in it can play some games without one at 720p
When you don`t use the gpu part of it the cpu part is just a bad processor compared to one without graphics
