Cheap AMD Build

Nafixd · Dec 2, 2013

I need to know if the components I chose work together (First build). I am not going to game, mainly a budget build to get school work done on. I will not need a moniter, OS, speakers, mice, keyboard.

Recycling:

Bestec ATX0300D5WB

*Dell computer case. Fits a micro ATX

CD Drive (Don't know really)

Hard Drive SATA II.

New Parts:

Crucial Ballistix 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model BLT4G3D1869DT1TX0 (Newegg.com)

MSI FM2-A55M-E33 FM2 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS (Newegg.com)

AMD A6-5400K Trinity 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7540D AD540KOKHJBOX (Newegg.com)

Do these components work together? And is the PSU enough?

yes but you might want to get 1600mhz ram a lot of pcs unless custom made don't accept 1866mhz

iceclock · Dec 2, 2013

Powersupply should be ok. Get 1600mhz ram and 2x2gbs instead

What do you guys mean it won't be accepted? Will it not work at all or will it work but at a lower speed?

They didn't read your post..

So I'm assuming the RAM will work?

here now ull have what u need and it will run correctly in dual-channel mode.

RazerZ · Dec 3, 2013

iceclock :

He already has one stick though so to work in dual channel he will need one more.

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

ah ok than that works out good.

Nafixd · Dec 3, 2013

Now this might be a bit off topic, but with an Inspiron 531 case, will it be able to hold everything? It's the same dell pc but with a new motherboard, processor, and ram. Everything else is the same. The motherboard is the same size as the one I am buying.

RazerZ · Dec 3, 2013

Nafixd :

Yes it will.

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

should be ok

Nafixd · Dec 3, 2013

I'm asking this because the back panel on the Inspiron 531 does not look removable

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

all dells come apart shur u will find it, or else buy a case for 35$ lol

RazerZ · Dec 3, 2013

Nafixd :

Don't worry it is. Look at the pics of it on this website:

Nafixd · Dec 3, 2013

Oh, I'm just trying to make sure since I checked and the entire back looks like a solid piece of metal. I'm also basing it off of another person's build using the same motherboard and case.

He said in the comments that it did not have have a back panel.

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

looks good to me

RazerZ · Dec 3, 2013

He cut holes into the case to fit in the new motherboard, not cut off the rear panel lol

Nafixd · Dec 3, 2013

I mean the panel for the USB and other parts of the motherboard. Will it fit in if untampered?

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

whynot just buy a new case for 25$ save alot of trouble lol

RazerZ · Dec 3, 2013

iceclock :

I was thinking the same thing

Nafixd · Dec 3, 2013

I lack the money for one right now. I asked the guy who made his own cutout and told me I should do the same if I lack money.

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

hmm its worth a try.

i think u should do it if everything fails order ur parts and wait for 30$ to comein
