Hello all,
 
This is my first ever post on Linus' community website and i'd love to ask you guys a very simple (yet complicated) question to answer:
Will ALL these parts (as listed) be compatible?
 
CPU/APU: AMD A8-5600K 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9S 46.4 CFM CPU Cooler
Case Fan(s):  Noctua NF-S12A FLX 120mm Fan (x2 or 3)
GPU: Asus Radeon R7 370 4GB Video Card (2-Way CrossFire)
Motherboard: Asus A88X-PLUS ATX FM2+ Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 14GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Storage/HDD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (x2) and Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Deepcool DUKASE ATX Mid Tower Case
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/RSBS DVD/CD Writer
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)

 

===================================================================================================

Parts I already have:

 

Operating System
    Windows 10 Home 64-bit

 

CPU
    AMD A8-5600K
    Trinity 32nm Technology

 

RAM
    8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)

 

Motherboard
    ASRock FM2A88M-HD+ (CPUSocket)

 

Graphics
    BenQ RL2455 (1920x1080@60Hz)
    2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (Gigabyte)

 

Storage
    931GB Western Digital WDC WD10 EZEX-00BN5A0 SATA Disk Device (SATA)
    465GB Seagate ST950042 0AS USB Device (USB)

PSU

    Some random generic shitty brand WITHOUT a PCIe power cable

 

p.s i already have an AMD Radeon R7 370 4gig sitting on my desk because the PSU doesnt even have a PCIe power cable >:(

 

===================================================================================================

 

Recommendations are well appreciated,
 
Thanks a bunch,
LJT

well you dont even have a PSU listed, lets have a separate list with the parts you want to install and buy. (mark the parts u already own in bold.)

a new cooler wont give u more performance unless u can OC? get an 850 evo instead of an 840, idenify which 8gb ram you have by looking at the sticker on it and get another one, keep your motherboard, no point going crossfire has ur CPU will hold u back, seasonic 620w would be a good power supply.

well, you pretty much saved me $600+ by cutting out the extra video card plus the other crap, so i couldnt care what it is as long as its compatible, if you can list me a motherboard+CPU that would be wonderful, as long as its under $600 for both of them :P

well once you do that then the CPU is not holding you back, so maybe see how what I suggested suits your needs

the ram is just a placeholder till you know what u have.
