Primarily, you need a much more powerful PSU... 500w is good. Also, buya one or you'll most likely regret it (look for things like 80+ bronze certification). If you want a better GPU, change the A10 for an athlon ii x4 760k.It's with the fm2 socket so you can keep the mobo. Now you have more money to spend on the GPU so I'd recommend an HD 7750+ or a gtx 650 Ti+

There are tons of better video cards under $700, but why go high end video cxard with a APU? Go with a good/decent CPU and mobo for it's power (much more than an APU) and build a real system, APU are noted for their on-board graphics, which you don't need if getting a high end GPU/video card

Sorry before you edited you showed a 'GPU under $700', now that you changed to $70, there's not much out there, GPU wise, an APU is an Accelerated Processing Unit, which is what the 10-6800K is, it's a combined CPU and GPU in effect, which doesn't carry the pure processing power of the higher end CPUs, but does have a built in GPU based on Radeon graphics.

With the mother board I have can I use the new gpu I got and will it make my computer faster?? I play games like League of legends cuz my computer atm is sh*t so ... I am planning on doing games like crysis and battlefield and stuff.. I cannot afford intel ... do you know if there is a better way of doing this ... and my last question was is my 225 watts going to cover everything or do I have to change??

The short answer: LoL is very low-end on the gaming spectrum as far as graphics requirements go. That parts list should be able to handle it just fine.

The longer [better] answer: I'd be happy to help streamline your configuration/parts list. What kind of budget do you have and what parts do you need and not need? Also, will you need an operating system?

Forgot to mention, make sure your case is big enough. I think the motherboard is a full size atx mobo so make sure your case fits an atx PSU/full height GPU. Finally (I hope), the processor should come with thermal paste already applied. If it doesn't, buy some before installing the fan because without this it will damage the processor
