I did come up with a list for this. although it is over budget.

I personally like AMD. I just do and I prefer it. I would prefer for this build to be a bit cheaper but I just dont quite see a way. I pretty much have bare minimums here. The DVD/CD Writer I suppose I dont really need but its only 16 dollars and I dont have one I can borrow to install Windows with. So any suggestions to get it cheaper?

Like I said though this will mainly just be used for Netflix/youtube and Lan events. Mostly playing League of legends/smite.

Also just out of curiousity what does the integrated HD7560D equal in a dedicated GPU?

You aren't quite at the bottom of the ladder in cost, but you are right that shaving money off the price tag isn't going to be easy. Memory prices bounce around a lot, so if you wait for the right moment you could save $10-15 here.

The main thing you could cut back on is the motherboard. If you aren't bothered about Kaveri or upgrade potential, you can always drop to a cheaper A75 FM2 based board and save some money here (around $20-30).
Also, the newer, slightly faster A8-6660K is very closely priced, it would probably make sense to go for this even if it is more expensive.

As for discrete graphics card comparison, the 7560D is quite a long way behind most modern cards, not least of all because it is DDR3 based when even a lot of...

Toms has a comparison chart which should give you some measure of how it ranks, but everything surrounding it is pretty antiquated so a direct comparison doesn't make a lot of sense.

Eh well. I would like the ability to upgrade :p although not a biggie the 20-30 wouldnt really be enough though for me to make me swap though. Would just be better to keep the board that I could put some upgrades on to if need be.

I figured that the 7560D was a bit behind but It cant be worse then intels i3 integrated. Not to mention that would be more expensive. Would that rig above fit into an NES? Just more of a curiousity question.
