The only thing I can see wrong is your ram. You have an 8 GB stick and a 4 GB stick. Buy a kit, either an 8 GB kit (2x4GB) or a 16 GB kit (2X8 GB) Never mix and match.

Tommy, you do realize you are buying a motherboard made for a 2nd generation CPU and are buying a 3rd generation CPU. It will work in it with a bios update, but I would suggest a board made for the generation CPU you are getting. That is also a non overclockable CPU and motherboard, which is just fine as long as you are aware.

Oops! Must have been having a blond moment and getting mixed up with a different thread! apologies. Anyway the A10 7870K is going to be way better than that i3.
I agree that Passmark is not the most accurate way of comparing anything, more of a very rough guide and most AMD processors I've had perform far better than that list would indicate.

You are looking at a CPU and a Motherboard that are somewhere in the 5-6 year old range. There are very few places that sell those parts, especially motherboards. I know money is an issue for you, but I would suggest you look at more current parts so you will have more options of parts for them. As of right now, you are extremely limited on which parts you can buy because of availability and in many cases prices are higher on them that they were when they were new. To get decent parts you are limited almost to buying used parts, which I would never recommend. I have no idea what your budget is, or what you intend to do with the computer. But, you can get some decent deals on some Kaby Lake (Intel 7th generation) parts. I would start looking there.
Why not look at some place likePC Part Picker for components to build with. They will tell you of any compatibility issues with your selected parts and usually tell you the best prices and where to buy them. They also usually have some good build guides for you to work with.
After you pick out the parts, come back and let us look at them.
