So here is the deal. For the past 2 months I have been really getting into computer s and stuff. I REALLY WANT TO BUILD A COMPUTER. All of the parts in that link are things that I can get started on and eventually build on. It's just the bare-bones until I get more money. Within the next 2-3 weeks I will be coming into about 450$.
When I buy these items I will be using my TV as a monitor temporarily and an old keyboard and mouse and will rely on the integrated graphics for the time being and also rely on my reliable WD Scorpio Blue.
In the coming months I plan to add these parts to it:

And an SSD.

What i'm trying to say is, will this be sufficient enough to get myself a desktop running and is it the best bang for my buck keeping in mind all of the things I plan on adding to the system.

EDIT: Also, if someone could tell me how to properly show the PCPartPicker list, yeah, that'd be great.

Gaming with that card would suck. It would however, give you a fully functional computer until you get your 7870XT.

Do it.

Only issue I see is I don't think the 6350 has any form of onboard video/IGP. You need one of their APUs for that don't you? The TV will probably suck, but you aren't planning on using that for long so I guess put up with it. GPU has been discontinued so you might need to pick another one.

I will be buying it from somewhere else I just used that link so everyone could see it.
Do you think the 6350 will cut it?

The AMD FX series does not have integrated graphics. You will need a video card if you want to use the computer at all.

Other than that, once you get all your parts, you will have a very similar to my build to mine. Only difference being I have an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, 16GB of DDR3 1866 and I am currently running an FX8350. I did have an FX6300 at 5Ghz and it was very impressive, especially at it's price point.

Thanks but I definitely plan on spending more than 450$ when i'm all said and done. This "$450" budget is just to get it going.
