Hello,
I'm building my first PC. I'm under a very, very low budget. Please tell me what you think.
Motherboard: A88XM-A
CPU: A8 7600
RAM: Kingston HX324C11SR/4, or to save you googling, 4GB HyperX Savage CL11. Two of these.
PSU: LC420H-12
Case: MS Industrial Knight.
First, I know that PSU is not even good enough to call it a PSU. But my budget simply does not allow anything more. You'll notice that I'm thinking about high frequency RAM. That is because I heard/read that APU's tend to run better with high frequency RAM. I also heard that A8 processors and A88 motherboards fit well. I hope you can give me some advices. My budget is ~250$. Also, if someone has a similar system, can you tell me what games it may run? Thanks.

U might also check amd A10 series. Why amd u can go for intel. The pentium g3258 is a great choice for 60-70$ and also u can get a h81 or z97 mobo for good price u can upgrade to an i7 in future. But if u r in for gaming go for AMD
 
This would do much better.

Hm, I will check those parts, but some parts are not available here, as I live in Serbia. Or they just have a lot higher prices. Also, I was trying to get maximum upgradeability, so I can add more parts later. Thanks for both advices.

I was able to find the GPU rather cheaply, for 50€, used. But, no computer store here sells that CPU. Are there any other CPUs, that could replace it in my build? Thanks.
EDIT: Can't find motherboard either.
