Im not good with Computer builds but i wouldn't want that

Id rather some like

PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspxItem=N82E16817371029&Tpk=400w%20antec

HDD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769

Memory:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231546

Some like that.. depends on ur budget... for Cpu/mobo

 

[NoobsRus2015]

Also noticed you didn't have a graphics card.... since u don't plan on doing that much get some like
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102988

That would be more then enough!

 

[AvoidingZombies]

For that case, its Mini-ATX/ATX. it doesn't Fit my Mini-ITX motherboard.
The link for the PSU came up as "BAD REQUEST" and im pretty confident in my PSU.
I will be adding a HDD once the build is done and i can afford one, but i like the one you suggested
As of your RAM, i've heard there isnt much difference once you get 1333 and pass it, but i like the RAM you gave me and i'm considering getting that one instead.
Also, i dont believe your Graphic card works with my MB. I've had some trouble looking for one for that MB.

 

[NoobsRus2015]

May i ask why Mini-ITX though?

 

[AvoidingZombies]

i wanted to get this mini-ITX mb because:
1. i wanted to save money and labor by getting a MB w/ a CPU combo
2. 95% of the MB/CPU combos are mini-ITX
3. This is under the few that has a Dual-core CPU
4. its says to have decent on-board graphics

 

[NoobsRus2015]

I understand that, However In years to come that would easily be trashed out,especially if you want to at-least run a smoothly whats your budget for this computer? Asrock Mobos are very good in quality (Most 500$ Budget Rigs Uses These).. And they are very cheap. If your budget match i could link you a asrock mobo with a cpu that will hang with you way longer then that would. You'd sooner or later replace them both but with that you'd replace it way faster and, like me im sure you'd want to set a spot so when you get extra cash you could upgrade your system. But with Mini-ITX Your so very limited.... if you'd decide you want a new graphics card etc... you'd just end up buying a hold new MOBO... just my opinion.

So a good plan is get a decent MOBO and CPU (That has nice graphics) and other required parts (usually under 400) so you can upgrade...... but it all depends on your graphics.

 

[AvoidingZombies]

my budget is 300$ to get me started and with other money in the future for upgrade like you said and i would love to see that link.
i agree with a mini itx mobo being limited.

Your computer works . Its not powerful and wont be an effective gamer . The AMD e series is a netbook processor originally .

mini_ITX motherboards are tiny with almost no expansion slots . Usually just one . On that motherboard its a legacy pci slot that cannot take a modern graphics card .
The case is actually a m_ATX case which is why the power supply fits . It can take a much larger motherboard

I think your results will be marginal at best

 

[NoobsRus2015]

That is true.. However this is such a good starting point that can be upgraded

Case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233
HDD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769
CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769
Mobo:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157280
Ram::http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231546
PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103996

Now you can upgrade in the future without spending unnecessary money, +If its to far over budget you can find a cheaper case..

The Total IS 345.94$!

So if you ever get into Hardcore Gaming or want to go into medium settings pop a Graphics card in it NP!
The Thing is being EXPANDABLE.... especially at a low budget..... id rather start off then get something that isn't that powerful or will do your gaming needs..
You do want to play without lagging every minute right! just my opinion!
Your choice!

NoobsRus, the HDD and the CPU have the same link. its missing the link to the CPU.

 

[NoobsRus2015]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103996

Oh sorry thats the link for CPU

 

[AvoidingZombies]

also the PSU link is the CPU link, missing PSU link

 

[NoobsRus2015]

2 Fails in a row KML!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

A power supply with 430 Watts! meaning (guessing if you upgrade to a graphics card it wont need anymore then that)

Like i said for a low budget get a starting point like me! and continue to build till its BOSS

Other Powersupply you listed was so expensive and you can get the same quality from corsair and get like a 700w for 80 bucks...

 

[AvoidingZombies]

haha well its almost 3:00 am for me for i dont have to much energy left in me but um.. i noticed that that mobo doesnt have any on board video that means you need a graphics card to get video output and if you are going to buy a Graphics card, you would buy a good one the first time and not a low-end one, then a good one. its kinda a waste of money in my opinion.

 

[NoobsRus2015]

The cpu comes with graphics.

 

[AvoidingZombies]

it does, how? are you saying it comes with a graphics card?

 

[NoobsRus2015]

I Am going to switch mobos... you need a FM2 Mobo for better graphics so here...

CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113282
Mobo:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157332

FM2's is a better combo for integrated... and yes CPU's will give you graphics read that one.

 

[NoobsRus2015]

In a better since, most ASROCK mobos dont have graphics but the cpu you pick does. and if you don't want to use hdmi inputs you can buy a cheap adapter...

 

[AvoidingZombies]

someone just posted a review on my mobo saying it can run cod4 on high settings @ 30-40 fps for me if a ran it @ med it would be pretty good BUT im starting to get what you mean about future upgrades. and i saw the CPU comes w/ graphics, can you tell me more on how that works? cause im really considering your mobo and cpu

 

[AvoidingZombies]

also iroinicly i just tryed to look at the review for the mobo again and its not there, he must have deleted it.... :/

 

[NoobsRus2015]

AMD A6-5400K Trinity 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7540D AD540KOKHJBOX

The GPU is on the same chip (or die) as the cpu, allowing them to cowork on mainly multitasking, rendering, and streaming.
Most or the latest cpu's have their own gpu integrated on, but in terms of basic gaming or streaming above 720p a dedicated gpu would be recommended. With Nvidia's Ion or AMD's APU design it works nicely as a media pc or small gaming machine.

If you notice that the asrocks i linked u says some like Graphics only onboard if used with cpu.

 

[NoobsRus2015]

if you youtube 500$ gaming build alot of people use that for gaming... actually i was using it for gaming xD

 

[AvoidingZombies]

so with that cpu installed i could used the vga port from the mobo and revieved the graphic spec it says for the cpu?

 

[NoobsRus2015]

Yep!
