My first time putting together a budget gaming system with some help from the internet :)
I put together the following:

MB : MSI A88XM-E45 - Socket FM2+ - Micro-ATX AMD A88X, 4xDDR3, SATA600 / USB3.0
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K Black Edition - 3.8GHz - Socket FM2 Quad-core, Incl cooler
GC : MSI GeForce GTX750
RAM : Kingston HyperX FURY Blue 8GB - PC3-12800 - DIMM DDR3, 1600 MHz, 1,5V, CL10, 2x4GB
Powersupply : Cooler Master Elite Power - 460 Watt
Memory: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 - 1TB 3.5", SATA600, 7200rpm, 64MB
Case : Cooler Master K380 Midi Tower, 2xUSB2.0 / 1xUSB3.0 / Audio

Like i said.this is my first build so be gentle :) If there are problems with the combo or if there are better choices pls share so i can learn from it. Im on kind of a low budget, but from here i have about an extra 50 dollar too spend in case of upgrades. The only think i can't change is the GC since i already have it.
I don't know much about cases so if there are better options pls let me know.

Thnx :)

Yes definitely - PSU is the most important part of the build bar none. What country are you buying from? If you post that and the store I can...

Thanks for the reply. I already have the GPU so i can't change it since i can't trade it anymore. All other stuff i haven't bought yet. :)
Without the card this should be around 380E so i think 440$? I have about 500$ to spend so another 60 is no problem (total budget is max 500$ without a GPU, and that really max).

But what i understand its better to choose a more descent power supply? And as far as i understand the MB should do fine.
Like the combo tho from the second post :) Gonna check that one out aswell.
Ye any suggestions on a CPU that works well with that board is welcome.

http://www.alternate.nl/html/configurator/builder/pc/page.html and from the netherlands :) (http://www.alternate.co.uk/html/index.html) enlish version of the site

That is the store im probably gonna get the components from
Well. i think the most importent thing here is the limit of my GPU.
Might change MB to: Gigabyte H97M-HDS (or Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3 but i think that is a bit to much for now?)
With Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz so i can upgrade the GPU in a later stadium.

As you can see im really struggeling to find the correct combination. Reading the internet makes it all even more confusing lol. :)
So im very greatfull for the help.
