Hi, I recently posted something about a starter pc and the people were very helpful. I decided to go a bit cheaper and here are the parts i'm going toward.
Case: Athena Power CA-GSB01DA Black 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - OEM
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A75M-DGS FM2 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD
Power: CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-8GAB
Avoid CX500's if you read the reviews they have a tendancy to shit out and I've heard about some frying other parts. Apart from that, good budget build, looks solid for the price.
I would invest in a SeaSonic G Series 550W modular 80+ Gold PSU; it is one of the few things you can carry over from build to build. It runs about $80, but can be found on sale.
