I am building a small Micro ATX computer and the MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 was the best board I came across and at the time that I created this build, the board was still on sale. I have now come to order one to find that it has been discontinued!!
Here is the build that I am using:
Silverstone SST-ML04B USB 3.0
AMD A8 5600K Black Edition CPU
Antec VP350P 350W Power Supply Unit
Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev.B (This cooler because of the small case)
HyperX Blu Series 8 GB
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

I wanted a computer that was as small as possible but that does not compromise on power and performance. If someone could help me or suggest another build, that would be great.

Thanks all :)

Don't worry. The new FM2+ socket is backwards compatible with FM2 APUs, so you can use any motherboard with this socket. They are still well priced, i recommend the A78 chipset.

The PSU is a bit small.
