Combining an APU with a compatible GPU is called Dual Graphics.

Combining 2-4 compatible dedicated AMD cards is called Crossfire.

Combining 2-4 compatible Nvidia cards...
You want an APU, which has a built in graphics card, on a board with crossfire, which is only useful for multiple AMD graphics cards, to run a Nvidia GPU? Either you're a troll or have no idea what you're talking about, because none of that makes sense.
 


Yes, you can CFX an APU and a AMD GPU, but you don't need a crossfire motherboard to do it, just a compatible AMD GPU.
 



Crossfire mean they work together the graphics in the APU with the Graphics in the card you dont need to have 2 card thats called sli
 


Crossfire is using 2 AMD GPU's or an AMD APU and a compatible GPU together to increase graphical processing power. You don't need a crossfire compatible motherboard to run a APU and GPU together, only to run 2 cards together.

My point is there is no need for a crossfire motherboard if you are not using 2 GPU's together. There is no point in buying an APU if you going to use an Nvidia GPU as there is no way to make it work together with the APU. The graphics portion of the APU will be disabled when the Nvidia card is plugged in, so why buy a chip with a GPU built in, that you won't be using.

TLDR; your build makes no sense what-so-ever.
