This is my first build, and I'm a bit worried that when I order these parts, they are not going to work with each other. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this. Any other forum I went to with this, I get the same thing every time.
"What's your budget?"
"What's your budget?"
Ugh...I'm hoping this is different, and actually answers my question.
My parts along with Amazon links to them, are as follows:
Motherboard || Gigabyte AMD FM2+/FM2 A88X DDR3 2133 DisplayPort HDMI Dual-link DVI ATX
Link || http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FBCCKIW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_n...
GPU || EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock w/G-SYNC Support 2GB GDDR5 128bit
Link || http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_n...
APU/CPU || AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core

Tower || Rosewill Gaming ATX Mid Tower

DVD Drive || LG Internal UH12NS30 BD-ROM Blu-ray
Link || http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DVTBM2W/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_n...
Again, this is my first build.
Am I missing any parts? Are any of these parts incompatable with each other?
Help is appreciated, I'm not too computer saavy.
Also, I plan on installing Windows 7 Ultimate x64-Bit, if that's any help.
Thanks!

APUs aren't the best for gaming unless you're going to be using the integrated graphics for very casual gaming.
Have you already got a HDD/SSD?
Also, yes 8GB is easily enough for gaming, RAM frequency is only really important for APUs. With other processors, 1600Mhz is sufficient and there won't be much of a difference with higher frequencies than this.

Yes, I plan on ordering two 1TB HDD's, and one 250GB HDD.
The 250GB HDD will store my OS, user accounts, etc.
One of the 1TB HDD's will store Steam, my games, and game peripherals such as XPadder and FRAPS.
My other 1TB HDD will hold all of my miscellaneous program files.
So, I should just go ahead and get the GPU, then? Or should I invest in a CPU instead of an APU?
Also, would this RAM suffice?
RAM || Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin

Yes of you want games to run well you'll need a decent dedicated GPU. The reason you keep being asked for your budget is it would be much easier for someone who knows what they are doing to suggest a much better system for the price.

Unless you already bought that APU, get a CPU instead. If you bought the APU but not the mobo yet I'd still consider getting a CPU.
If you haven't already bought any of the parts yet, here's a list you could use. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/37mcGX
The total comes to a couple of dollars more than the parts you listed in the OP.
You might still want to cahnge a few things though, like getting a higher end mobo if you need specific features, etc.
I forgot to ask earlier, but do you need the blu-ray drive or could you just use DVDs? Unless you know you'll be using blu-rays, I'd go for a cheaper DVD drive instead.

The parts you posted will cost $700 so I used that budget and added what a 250Gb and 2 1Tb hdds would cost(~$140) and built this which would be much better performing computer.

I looked at the PCPartsPicker list you made, Mattib.
That's cheaper than what Amazon's total is.
Is the PSU in the list you made Haswell-ready?
Also, a quick question about CPU's. When it's multi-core, does that mean it's a single CPU with cores, or is it seperate CPU's that into different slots on the Mobo?
Sorry, I'm a noob.

If $840 is too much I can shave more off by nixing the 1Tb drive and adding a case that is not as flashy.

Multi-core means it's a single CPU with more than one core.
The PSU I listed is Haswell ready.
Either of the builds will be enough for stuff like BF4 at a mix of high-ultra settings. It'll easily run a PS2 emulator too. I hope you plan on getting dark cloud/chronicle for that, those were great games back in the day.
Bignasty's build is slightly better in terms of performance, but also a little more expensive. Also, the 550W version of that PSU isn't haswell ready, but the 650W version is. Source

I think I'll go with the build that bignastyid gave me for $768.16.
Is everything in said build compatable? Can it at LEAST run a PS2 Emulator at 50+FPS?
Sorry to question everything, just want to make sure.
Mattib, is the PSU along with the CPU that is in the second build list bignastyid gave me perfectly compatable with each other?

The updated TS version of the 550w XFX is Haswell compatible. Also all that Haswell compatibility means is that it works with the new C6 and C7 sleep states that come disabled by default on most retail motherboards.
