My First Gaming Build

[jcheise16]

Here is what I am thinking of building but I have a few questions.

 

First, here's the link to the list

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=19630174

 

First question: What graphics cards can i crossfire with this APU with, if any?

Second question: I have a spare 500 GB 2.5 inch hard drive that i would like to use, can i mount this as an SSD or will it cause vibrations?

Third question: Is 550 watts too much wattage if i at most will be adding one graphics card.

Fourth question: Would it be better to start off with 2x4GB kit or a 8GB stick?

 

Any other suggestions on my build would be greatly appreciated!

1. Can help you with this sorry, but maybe the R7 line? IDK

2. You can mount it on the 5.25' cage, I have one installed on my CM E130

3. 550W is enough, but 450W should be fine

4. 2x4GB

1) If you want to crosfire later, get a 7850k, the 5800k is 2 generations old. 

2) It should be fine.

3) that looks fine too

4) 2x4. 

 

EDIT: APU's like fast RAM. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231460&cm_re=1866_ddr3-_-20-231-460-_-Product

That Memory is really well done, once again G.Skill never seems to stop impressing me.
