Hi, I'm trying to build a really crappy $300 gaming computer. Well I wouldn't call it crappy, but because I don't play high-end, intense graphical games. I'm wondering if this build is compatible, I'm new with computer hardware and I'm trying to build my first computer.
Motherboard: MSI A55M-E33 Socket FM2+ AMD A55 Chipset | Dual Channel DDR3 2133(O.C.) MHz, 1x PCI-Express 3.0 x16 | GLAN, 4x SATA 3.0Gb/s, 4x USB 2.0 | VGA/HDMI, Micro ATX
CPU: AMD A8-5600K (100W) Quad-Core Socket FM2, 3.6GHz APU, 4Mb Cache, 32nm (AD560KWOHJBOX)

CD Drive: LG (GH24NSB0) Internal 24x DVD-Writer, OEM| Black, SATA, M-DISC
I live in Canada so man computer parts are more expensive. Plus there's much more variety on online US stores. I still got a lot of research to do, but are there anything I'm missing or anything important points I need to know when assembling the computer? Like if multiple fans are required, are they provided with the CPU... Thanks :D

Check to see how much more for faster ram. It'll help in this build and if you get one stick now and add another 4G stick later. You'll save money over all. The psu with the case is only passable but you do have a small budget. So replace it with a better one when you can. We all have to start somewhere. There is not much heat produced by that build and you live in Canada so the stock cooling should be OK for now.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the fast reply!
