I would not choose an APU for a gaming PC with a dedicated GPU. FX-4300, FX-6300, or Intel i3 would be much better choices. The PSU you picked is really good, but there are models nearly as good for a lot less in that power range.

The proccesor you have picked is an APU [CPU with integrated graphics] hence it will not be able to use the 650ti boost.

Change the CPU to 6300
Change the Motherboard to Asus m5a97 R2.0
Upgrade the case from micro to mid tower full atx
Try upgrading from 650ti boost to 660
Change the PSU to Seasonic S12ii 620W [Same price as the one you selected]

I disagree . you can still use a Dedicated Graphics card with an integrated one in your CPU.

But then your build is $49 (a not insignificant 8%) over his $600 budget. PCPartPicker is very misleading over what the final checkout price is.

+1 to this build

Yes the dedicated gpu will work with the apu but then there is no point in buying an APU, one is better of with a CPU + GPU
