Hi everyone,

I have been looking for a configuration that can do decent 1080p gaming on TV. Doesn't have to be cutting edge, just decent. Here are some specs I'd like

HDMI port, good sound on board
Bluetooth/Wifi on motherboard
Smaller form factor would be ideal but not essential
Fastest boot motherboard

What are your thoughts on a good motherboard, ram, vga card(if integrated one wont be enough), processor and matching power supply

Don't need a lot of bells and whistes on motherboard like crossfire support, expansion slots (other than single slot for vga (if needed) or fancy options on vga card

I have looked at a10 6800 combos and was told that they struggle at 1080 and a low end dedicated gfx card can outperform them at negligle cost difference. Is that true? Is it worthwhile waiting for the A10 kaveri chips, would they give more value than the a10 6800s?

Thank you in advance!

[/quotemsg]

Oops That was CPU+motherboard+vga (if needed) + RAM for around $400

No case needed. I have some cases for several mobo sizes. Same for PSU. Please mention the power requirement for the configuration so I can match the PSU.

Nice config! The motherboard doesn't have bluetooth or wifi though. Could you suggest a motherboard with it please?
