Planning on first build. Been doing a bit of research. Build below. I am planning on getting the GPU at a later date and am wanting to know if a GPU is required as this CPU has no integrated graphics?
I have done some research and found out that it depends on the mobo as old version wouldn't allow a computer to start but newer ones should be fine but there was a bit of contradiction in the discussion. As long as the computer can handle turning itself on and basic things such as streaming videos, browsing web without GPU or being slow, then I'm fine with that.
Based on that, is there any particular mobo that you would recommend? I want to spend around £50 but no more than £80 on a mobo. I have come across a mobo that appears good (listed below) but hoping for one a bit cheaper around £50. From what I gathered each mobo can support certain RAM, so i can only decide what to get once i know the RAM. looking to spend around £50 for 2x4GB RAM.
The CPU support for the mobo listed below says it supports FX8350 Vishera version. The CPU i am planning on getting doesn't refer/mention "Vishera". http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX8350-Edition-Processor-4-2GHz/dp/B009O7YUF6. Could someone please confirm that they are compatible and what it means by Vishera.

I don't care much about appearance or brand. I see this as an investment which performance wise should last several years.
My current desktop (very outdated and many years old) has the following PSU Jeantech JN120F-450-AP - specs of this PSU, can't find much info about it online so this may help
. Would everything work fine until i get the GPU? Would it still work with the GPU? Apparently this is a 450Watts but I see it being referred to in posts going back to 2005
£130 AMD FX8350 Black Edition 125watts
£35 EVGA 500W PC Power Supply
£50 Kingston 120GB SSD (will likely be using external HDD also)
£50 (approx.) for 8gb RAM (2 x 4GB)
£80 mobo MSI 970 Gaming
£50 Windows 8
£395 total - was wanting to spend less than £300 total, including GPU
get a later date
£150 SAPPHIRE AMD R9 280 Graphics Card (3GB, DDR5) 250watts PCIe 3.0
What do people think about this set-up? Would you consider it good value for money?
The reason for AMD FX8350 over Intel is because of price mainly, and I think it's a good CPU considering the cost of it. I was considering the AMD A10 which does have integrated graphics but performance the FX8350 is better.
UPADTE: just realised this mobo doesn't have an adapter to connect to a monitor. has anyone got some advice about what I can do?
