So, I'm going to try to build a computer for my first time. I don't need a monitor or a keyboard & mouse. So my question is...will this build wreck some face?

To my understanding, AMD APU's go faster if there is faster RAM. And this certain APU can't take advantage of more than DDR3 2133 memory. I know that GPU's usually run off of DDR5, but I don't think they make RAM that fast...yet. Also, the power supply will be good, right? I don't want it to explode or anything. :p Thanks in advance for your help!

Haha it means do really good. The AMD APU has the best integrated graphics. (Doesn't compare with dedicated, but the reason you would want to buy one of these is if you're on a budget.) The AMD APU's increased performace 25% when upgrading from 1333 and 1600 MHz RAM. The integrated graphics run off your RAM speed, and 2133 is the highest for this CPU.

Your build didn't have a case in it,mine does,so there's some money to spend extra if you don't need it.Could be spend on a better/other case or motherboard.
For a build like this should that cooler nor be necessary too,the stock should do fine.

With these last comments could you go for the next,
