No don't get an APU, outdated socket...hey wait are you getting an intel MOBO with an AMD CPU? no that will not fit, Intel motherboards work only with Intel CPUs, can you please input a budget? if you do you will have at least 3 posts with builds to choose from 😀 (people love building builds in this site, including myself)
 
NCIX prices are high. You could do much better buying from other companies. Do you need to buy windows or a monitor in your budget?
