For GPU i suggest getting a 750ti/260X why do you want a case fan? Just use the stock one.

Change the CPU to an X4 760k 

Pick a cheaper FM2+ board

Go for an NZXT Source 210 for the case 

and get an R7 260x 

 

/total cost should be about the same. I'd link a PCPP, but PCPP isn't really working right now.

If youre set on an apu build which is not a bad idea then id suggest getting the F2A88XN-Wifi motherboard so you dont have to spend money on the wifi adapter. And you should go for 2133 or 2400Mhz ram because that will significantly improve the performance of the APU in games!
