You may notice I'm missing some stuff. I am on an extreme budget, so I don't want to cheap out on parts. I have 4 1gb sticks of Kingston old ram clocked at 1066mhz I think. I will be getting some nice corsair or kingston for christmas. I also am going to be using temporarily and coolmaster 500w extreme power plus psu. that will be use for no longer a month. then I will be getting an Xfx 550w psu. I also will be getting a 7850 hopefully in January. Now I will explain why I chosen these parts.
CPU: Is there even a better cpu at this price? This was the first thing I picked for the build.
MotherBoard: I picked this one manly for the features it provides. I can overclock on this thing, has Sata 6 gb/s, and a usb 3 header 
Case; I know this isnt the greatest of all cases, but for the price, it looks really good!
OS: I chose win 7 because I'm so used to it. I heard that 8.1 is a bit better, but in my opinion, 7 is the better one.
Now I will talk why I picked my plan upgrades
PSU: It's made by Seasonic, nuff said
Memory: I know bestbuy has those brands, so i just like to make it easiest for my mom.
GPU: It performs well, and it isn't too pricey
So, what are your thoughts? Anything I could change? Thank you in advance :3
so What was the gpu again? because with all AMD cpus excluding their apus there is no video output on the motherboard, you will need a graphics card.
Is the RAM DDR3? If not, you will need to ensure that your motherboard is DDR2 or DDR compatible, as I have experience with motherboards that only work with DDR3 ram. If this is the case, you can find some cheap DDR3 RAM for around $30-$35.
Its a 630
Yes it is.
