It's all compatible, but there's no reason to get an APU if you're not going to use the integrated graphics. I'd suggest an FX 6300 and Gigabyte 970A-UD3, which will cost less than the F2A85 and A10. Change the 660 Ti to a 760 and you're good to go, but a little unbalanced as the expensive graphics card probably befits a higher-end CPU, but spending more on the graphics card is what you should do if it's a gaming PC.

Totally agree with r00t there, the 970A-UD3 is a great board for its price.

Thanks r00t, That actually makes alot of sense.
I'm paying more for the on board graphics with quad core when i can actually get a 6 core proccessor instead with a better graphics card.
also...is the 600w power supply enough?

600 watts will be fine for that build.

Performance isn't determined by the number of cores and the CX500 is a 500w power supply unless you made two typos, I think you might be confused. If you're getting a 760 and FX6300, I'd suggest a quality 550w unit that's better than the CX500. A better case like the Antec One or Corsair 200R as well.

Source 220 is reasonable on a budget isn't it?

Sure, it's a nice case, but since it's not a tight budget (GTX 760 in the build), $20 can go a long way. I distinctly recall the 210 being on the flimsy side, even more so than the Gammas I'm working with now. The Gamma has its own set of issues and I'd take the 210 over it, but a better case would be a very good investment. The HAF 912 was much sturdier and better to work with than either the 210 or the Gamma which shows that a little goes a long way at this point.
I may just go ahead and write a review for the Gamma while I have access to it. This case is confused.

OK, So i rebuilt my build and heres what i have.
AMD FX 6300 6 Core Proccessor
Asus M5A97 R2.0 (I Like Asus Over Gigabyte)
Corsair Vengence RAM 8Gb
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500Gb
Gigabyte GTX 760 2Gb
Corsair CX500 Power Supply
Antec One Case
I have already bought the cx500 power supply and the Asus M5A97 Motherboard.
Will The 500w power supply be enough to run this computer? thats what im worried about.
the reason i bought the cx500 is mainly cause im on a budget.
