Also, don't get an APU if you have a dedicated graphics card, get a cheap socket 1150 motherboard and an i3 instead.

no

[Clear Glass]

no

Um, actually yes. Intel i3 would give you better performance. lmao.

[Clear Glass]

Here are the upgrades to my current set up.

The three upgrades are the Motherboard, CPU Cooler, and GPU.

I want to do cable management, but my cables are not long enough, where is the best place to buy extensions for this?

Pageloss, anyone??

Edit: Double post oops.

[AfterShock]

no

Ok, don't have better performance then. We don't care if you blow your money.

[Jerome]

no

the integrated graphics will only work with entry-level amd graphics cards and if you're getting a 760 it's completely pointless
if you don't want an i3 (which i would actually reccommend) get an athlon 760k and save $30 for the same thing

[Pentium]

This. The i3 will beat the A10 in multithreaded performance and absolutely smash it in singlethreaded.
Also,

i'm planning to buy this whole thing piece by piece, starting with the gpu on christmas

Don't. Save up until you can buy everything in one go, because if you buy everything as you can afford it the components will have become outdated once the computer is finished. The only things you can buy in advance are the case, optical drive, power supply and maybe hard drive. For example, the GTX960 is scheduled to come out early next year, and the same thing goes for AMD's new lineup. Even if you still decide to spring for the 760 it'll be cheaper since it'll be a previous-gen card.

this is where i decided i needed to reply
i only get so much money a year (like 200-300 because poor-ass family) and i have a mentality where if i don't spend the money now, i may not get anything out of it later
i can't save up
i lack the ability to do it
i'll switch to the i3 but remember i'm tight as forget on cash always
show me that i3 and the motherboard because i've set everything in stone and i need you guys to replace the motherboard that will support my stuff

[Oasis]

It's also not a good idea to buy it as you go because parts could be dead and you wouldn't know.

Would this work in a full size 16x pci slot?

These should do. Don't take my word for it though, let someone else give their opinion first. If you somehow get $40 extra, you can have a quad-core i5: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54460
In other news, hardware.info just had a massive SSD test:

tl;dr:
Get the Samsung 850 EVO if you want a really, REALLY fast SSD.
Get the Corsair MX100 if you feel like keeping both your kidneys but still want a fast SSD.

Good to see that the 840 I just bought will be alright. Can't beat a 250GB SSD for $110 plus Far Cry 4.

Its also one of the best SATA ones IIRC. Too bad it went back up to $150, otherwise i would have gotten it. However, the 500GB is $190, which isnt bad.

Newegg is fine for extension cables.
