AMD Athlon X4 760K
Nvidia GTX 750
4GB RAM
1TB Hard drive
500W PSU
Gigabyte F2A55M-HD2

Plan on using it to do school work, gaming and just browsing the interwebs. Obviously don't expect it to perform like 4k Pc build but hope it will do its job, i don't play any specific game, i play anything. Plan on adding more RAM and maybe upgrade CPU in future (Maybe a FX-6300.)
Thanks

Word of advice. Get a good 990 or 970 motherboard. Look for two things. 1.- 8+2 phase power. This is the part of the motherboard that supplies power to all the parts of the board and the cpu. It is critical. 2.- heatsinked VRM's. This is critical also. These two key factors only come in full sized ATX boards. The cheapest good board I couyld recommend is the GA-970A-UD3P. It is less than $80. I have the board you are thinking of getting. While it is a pretty good board the 6300 will throttle under a full load. And overclocking with that board is not going to be very good. It is only 4+1 phase power.
