Looking into getting an apu build, budget of 300 for the tower only.

Dont need

monitor
graphics card (as id like an apu chip with decent built in)
keyboard or mouse
o.s (ill be running wins 7 64 bit)
optical drive

would like to all be from "Amazon"
would like a front usb 3.0 (not required tho)

mainly using this system for web browsing, very light gaming.

Yeah with a 5700K as APU a 50-60 bucks motherboard and 8 gigs of RAM. (4Gb x2 tho, for dual channel, you ABSOLUTELY need dual channel, since APU graphics share memory with CPU, and single channel will brutally limit GPU output)

Then it's cool. But frankly, you're better off with an A10-5700K, since it's a quad and frankly, fuck dual cores, quad cores are futureproof.
