my pc parts
ZOTAC GT 630 4GB DDR3 Synergy Edition Graphic Card
AMD A10 6800K Processor
ASUS A88XM-A - FM2+ APU ready Motherboard
WD Caviar Green 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive
Corsair 8 GB DDR3 Ram CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10
 
Whats your budget?
I wouldn't recommend you 5400RPM HDD and 1600MHz CL10 RAM. Look for at least 7200RPM 64MB cache drive and 2133/2400MHz CL10~11 RAM
APU works faster on faster RAM. Also APU comes with integrated GPU so buying discrete GPU is pointless.
 
The parts are compatible. But using the graphics from the a10 is a waste of time. You should only use the GT630 graphics. I've no idea why it has 4gb. It needs 2GB at most. What resolution monitor have you got?

Oh and make sure you get a GOOD psu. From a well know brand name - Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, Antec etc.
 
For the same price as an A10 6800K you can get an i3 4340 http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i3-4340-vs-AMD-A10-6800K

The i3 has hd4600 gpu which is nearly as good as hd 8670d in the a10. They are both a bit better than the gt 630

For another $10 you can get a gt 640 which is nearly twice as good as a gt630.

With your current build, its not worth buying a gt630 - it doesn't work as good as the hd 8670k graphics in the a10 6800k
