I just ordered all my parts and I have just gotten an extra $120 from an ebay sell. I can either return the cpu/apu and get graphics and new cpu or just add graphics.  What should I do?

I would save a little more for a 280x used on ebay. They go for about 150 USD. Just keep the apu if you have it but if you can cancel it go ahead. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Is your intention to game? If so, I'd try to pick up an 860k and a 280/x (used/new, whatever you prefer).

Honestly if you are aiming for this price point just wait a few days and get one of those nifty budget systems off newegg. They keep selling systems with specs that goes some thing like....

 

Fx6300

random good brand mobo

120gb mushkin ssd 1tb seagate drive

Rosewill case with 480w psu integreated

8gb of ram

really old video low end video card like hd6450  (if that exists)

And they keep putting these systems on sale for around 280 a few times a week for the last 6 months or so. They are shell shockers so they don't last long. Keep checking in on them. 

Ryzen 3700x -Evga RTX 2080 Super- Msi x570 Gaming Edge - G.Skill Ripjaws 3600Mhz RAM - EVGA SuperNova G3 750W -500gb 970 Evo - 250Gb Samsung 850 Evo - 250Gb Samsung 840 Evo  - 4Tb WD Blue- NZXT h500 - ROG Swift PG348Q
