Way to much power supply for that build. A 300w is more than enough. Now if you're going to tell us you're planning on going crossfire down the road then begin with a different processor and discrete GPU altogether.

Don't go with the llano's....What is your total budget?

 

[danieln]

Yes plan on going Crossfire in future for now using old Nvidia GT8500.
What CPU would be a better buy and are the integrated graphics in the A8-3870k better than my GT8500. Could I just get a better CPU and use my old GT8500 on the mean time.
Want to keep it under $500.00 for now until I can get more funds...
Currently have a 24" 1680*1050 monitor.

The llano should be good enough but if you save money on some of the other parts like ram/psu and mobo you can probably get something better.

 

[amuffin]

What about an i3-2100 and asrock z68 extreme 3 gen 3? A corsair cx430 power supply, and maybe you will have enough for a decent video card.

 

[popatim]

a 960T is 129, saving you $10.
I'd grab a gigabyte 970 bd for 90 saving you $25.

Thats $30 you can put towards a new GPU right from the start.

Heres a 6670, equivalent to the a8 integrated gpu, for $50 after rebate.

and you end up with a much better system for only $20 more.
