this is my first build
(http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NjHjzy) and though I'm not a noob when it comes to computers, I have never build one myself and some feedback would be much appreciated. My budget is $350 which is why I'm kinda short on choices.

If you're budget is THAT low, you do not want to get a ssd. You also do not want to get a case that comes with a psu because the psu would be a fire hazard. The A10's integrated graphics would be better than the GT610 so yeah it's not a good build. I will show you something good.

I see
I was wondering about the PSU but that's something I am not knowledgeable about which is why I was reluctant to go over 300w.
And the SSD inclusion was for faster read/write times when gaming. The function the HDD would serve is just for holding the Operating System and anything else unrelated to gaming.

Thanks for the feedback btw. Much appreciated

But getting a ssd at such a low budget means you have to sacrifice other more important components. You can always add a ssd later when you get more money.

If you DID have a ssd though I recommend putting windows on it and not the other way around.
