hey guys,

first time ever looking into building a gaming PC. Spent about 5 hours today researching and watching a myriad of how-to YouTube videos. Got some free time this month so I'm gonna get back into gaming

currently, this is what i have picked out:

CPU: AMD A10-7850K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus AM3 Plus AMD760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard M5A78L-M LX PLUS
Memory: G.Skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Silicon Power S60 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts Green 380W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

so apparently my motherboard isn't compatible with my cpu, or apu in this case.
say that i keep everything as is; would the motherboard be the only component i must change? is everything else compatible?
budget's $500 to $600

big noob here. Any help/tips/insight would be much obliged
