An APU is for systems that are not going to include a discrete graphics card, especially from the beginning.
How interested are you in overclocking? If yes, read the review of the Pentium G3258, or look at yesterday's budget SBM build that used the 750K (but you may wish to substitute the 760K). If not, take a look at an i3 on a H87 board.

thank you..btw since im a newbie at building pc..is it a good idea to buy all that parts and bring all of them to local repair shop so that they can build it for me..uhm idk how much labor cost for that If you can turn a screwdriver and insert a CD ROM, then you can build a computer. My 11 year old daughter does it when I need extra help.
You'll slap yourself after you see how easy it is.

Damric's build is MUCH stronger than the one your were considering. Note that there are some rebates among those prices; your out-of-pocket costs will be a little higher.Yeah I can drop down to i3, GTX 750 (non-Ti), and lose the SSD if you need to save a few Benjamins.
We are here for you if you can't figureout how to get the round peg in the round hole. Just ask

There are some good build videos on YouTube. Check out Newegg TV as one example.
All you are likely to need is a #2 Philips screwdriver. You may find a smaller one helpful as well, and you may find needlenose pliers or tweezers helpful for placing the front panel connectors.
Take precautions against static. Do not roll around in an office-type chair while building.

I think you will be very much satisfied that you did it yourself.hi damric i just did the build and so far its great! ,, even though the cable management could be better but its doable atm
my question is that since the cougar case only comes with rear fans is it a good idea to install front fan?
i kinda worried that the cable might get cluttered though.
and its been a great experience so far.. I've learned a lot and now im not scared to open up pc inside out.. i should do more customizing in the future ^^
it took me 5 hours to build it..at first i forgot the sata cables from optical drive and hard drive so i got confused why the optical drive couldn't read..
also cable management is by far the most annoying thing to do here, but doable i guess. maybe ill send picture of what it looks like inside

A front fan is always a good idea because in brings in the cool air.

I'm so glad you decided to do it yourself.
Yes add an intake fan when you get a chance.
Post us some photos and benchmark results!

Which fan is too loud? The CPU fan, the chassis fan, or the graphics card fan?
Anyways, here is an inexpensive, but really good fan. It's Rosewill's rebrand of the Cooler Master Sickleflow.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
These Jet Flows are more exotic, high power fans that also come with resistors to run them slower. There are lots of copies of these on the market too (Corsair AF, others).
