Hello everyone, it's my first post here at this forum. I'm from Poland and please correct my mistakes in english. :)

I'm trying to complete a desktop PC for my girlfriend and this is what I did:

1. APU (a little cheaper)
ASRock A75M-HVS
AMD A6-3650 BOX 2,6 X4
GoodRam DDR3 2x 2GB 1333 CL9
Seagate Barracuda 500GB S3
Chieftec GPA-350S
CM Elite 341
Lite-On iHAS624-32 (lightscribe)
Win7 HP 64

2. i3
ASRock H67M / ASRock H61M(U3S3)
Intel Core i3-2100
GoodRam DDR3 2x 2GB 1333 CL9
WD Caviar Blue 500GB S3
Chieftec GPA-350S
CM Elite 341
Lite-On iHAS624-32 (lightscribe)
Win7 HP 64


First of all, which of these two biulds do you suggest to focus on? Next, if i3 then which motherboard will do better (which chipset)?


Case alternative:
Have you heard anything about this case:
Eurocase MC S360 micro 300W ? I worry about power supply inside, I don't want to buy a no-name and... you probably know what I mean.

Thanks for your help!
 
When the ps goes, and takes other components with it, then it isn't cheap anymore.
No matter the build, a quality PS will always be recommened.

You know... this build is not going to be OC. The cheaper the better.

The cheapest Z68 chipset start around £70/ $100. How much with your H67 mobo?

case - I suggest go for atx mid tower, such that if you want upgrade, you don't need to change that again.
If you want it cheap, probably have a look at CM elite 310, NZXT BETA EVO,
