You don't need a GPU and APU.

Seriously?

Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

Hey Fez760,
 
This system seems well planned. You should be able to play most of modern games.
I doubt that you would need a Custom CPU Cooler as this particular CPU cannot be overclocked and the stock one would be more than enough.
I really like the storage solution. 
If you don't particularly need the Optical Drive, you can drop it and push more funds towards a better CPU.

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^

Oh yeah! I didnt Even consider that But would there be any performance loss

 

Maybe but I doubt that it would be significant... I haven't tried it myself, but I'm sure some of the guys here will have some experience with it. :)

I updated the Build A bit Can i get an insight

 

It looks pretty good to me with a great balance between budget and performance. :) Good job!
Just make sure the adapter is compatible with the optical drive and the motherboard. I would suggest checking that with the manufacturers of both the adapter and the other parts (simply ask them if it would work this way and if not - for some suggestions) before purchasing. :)
