CPU: **AMD A8-5500 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.2GHz**
Motherboard: **MSI 2ae0**
Memory: **8GB DDR3 System Memory**
Storage: 1TB Hard Drive
Power Supply: Thermaltake 600W TR2
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Edition (64-bit)

**So i want to get my new CPU, COU Cooler, Motherboard, and and get 8 more GB of RAM but I want to make sure everything is compatible with each other and still be able to fit all this in a new Coolermaster Mastercase 5 Case I have?
**I also want to be able to run games smoothly at +60 FPS such as ARK:Survival Evolved, Grand Theft Auto V, Call of Duty Black Ops 3, The Division and Counter Strike: Global Offensive at +144 FPS to get the 144htz refresh rate from my monitor to finally be beneficial.

The new system will work. You won't be able to game without a video card though which is missing. Also if you plan on having 16GB of RAM by adding another 8GB note that 8GB is plenty for gaming. If you're going to upgrade, you could just purchase 8GB of DDR-4 and then go with a Skylake CPU to get all the latest tech.

Also a liquid cooler is not required if your not going to overclock. And to overclock you seriously want to consider the motherboard of choice.
