i'm making a small form factor build, and im wondering if this motherboard is any good. the build is just for everyday use, web browsing, etc. Im putting it with an amd a6 richland.

also, if anyone has any suggestions for my build, here it is:

i know the case isnt that great, but ittl do. also im not getting both the hard drives, if the budget allows it im getting the ssd and dropping the hard drive. only 80gbs are being used right now so i dont need alot of space. the budget is 400, but the least expensive the better. also i dont need an os

any help/suggestions is gladly appreciated,

looks like a pretty solid build too me, the Mobo would do fine for what you are using it for. i wouldn't really change anything, only think i would suggest is to get the HDD instead of SSD just so you have a bit of space to store some things on and such because you would probably fill the SSD up fairly quick . but then again, you might not need to store much, im ust going of of the amount of storage i take up from random programs and files.

do you think i'll need 8gb ram? would 4gb suffice? it is an apu, which is ram dependent, but right now my slim computer is running an intel pentium d and 2 or 3gb ddr2 ram using integrated graphics

well, I had an APU. it was only an A4, but i had the PC for a year and it ran well on only 4GB of RAM so i guess you don't need the extra 4GB but there is a possibility it could make the Pc that slight bit faster

thanks for all the help, youve definatly cleared up my doubts on this. usually when im picking out components theyre more higher end so spending $50 on a motherboard is pretty rare, the first one i chose was 110 for mini itx, but i changed the case. thanks again :)
