Hi everyone. I'm planning on doing my first build for my little brother. There will be light gaming but nothing intense.
Right now, I figure that the AMD A8 5600K should suffice for what I am looking for as we wish for it to last a while.
I am looking for something preferably around 350 or less before shipping / taxes (As cheap as possible but I am flexible, as long as it is under 385 or so)
Preferred retailers are Canada Computers, Newegg.ca, NCIX, Amazon.ca (No 3rd party dealers) and Tigerdirect. I have Amazon Prime and have Canada Computers retail stores within my proximity so those would be probably the best
No OS/Peripherals are needed except for a wifi adapter. Purchase date will be this week. Here's what I have so far (decisions were made using convenience and pricing):
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD A8-5600K 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor ($99.99 @ Amazon Canada)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-DS2 Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard ($57.99 @ Canada Computers)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($51.99 @ Amazon Canada)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.99 @ Canada Computers)
Case: Silverstone PS08B (Black) MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($44.99 @ Canada Computers)
Power Supply: Antec 450W ATX12V Power Supply ($44.99 @ Amazon Canada)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($19.99 @ Canada Computers)
Total: $379.93
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
