This is my first pc build and I'm going for a low cost gaming rig. I wanted to know if there might be any compatibility issues with the parts, or if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks!

Make sure the Mobo is AM3, AM3+ is a differant socket than AM3.

Also, amazon are not the best for techspecs, for better/more detailed specs, check the websites of the manufacturer.

 

Also, what is your budget?. Becuase this is not what I would call a budget build.

unless you plan on upgrading both the cpu and gpu later, I would go with an A10 APU. the hyper 212+ will fit the athlon, the cooler fits the socket, the cpu really doesn't matter.

So I went on pcpartpicker.com and put in my parts. I changed my case to Raidmax Helios ATX-819WB ATX Mid Tower Case it comes with the fans and it's cheaper right now. Here's the link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DNlk

On another note, the mobo is compatible with the processor, AM3+ socket is compatible with AM3, but not vice versa.

I don't really have a set budget, but by using the site and changing the case and eliminating the fans, i got it down to $571.23 after mail and rebate, and I am very happy with that.
