can anyone help me to take a look at this setup:)
i am a newbie & i have under $300 budget
I want to build this for little gaming (starcraft2) & hd video playback

thanks everyone

CPU: AMD A6-3500 APU with AMD Radeon 6530 HD Graphics 2.1/2.4GHz Socket FM1 65W Triple-Core Processor



Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-A75M-D2H FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard



Ram: Kingston Technology HyperX Blu 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM (Kit of 2) XMP $27.98



HDD: Western Digital 320 GB Caviar Blue SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive - WD3200AAKX


Case: (dont know what to choose, but I want a small one anyway)

Apex MI-100 4BAY Desktop Blk/Silver 250W ATX12V Mitx

OR
Cooler Master Elite 360 m-ATX ATX Mid/Mini Tower Case with 350-Watt Power Supply RC-360-KKR1


OR any more recommendation (using Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2 Builder Series™ CX430 Power Supply - 430W, 80 Plus, 120mm Fan, Single +12V Rail, Active PFC $20 PSU)
 
For under $300 that's a pretty good build, if you have $10 extra to spare though I'd get this 500GB HDD http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digit...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332265856&sr=1-1 and I would go for the Cooler Master Elite 360 case and use the CX430 PSU you said about.

The Pentium G620 and the Gigabyte GA-H61M may be something to consider though. This setup will work out cheaper than your AMD one and you can put the money you save to a bigger hard drive. Here is the CPU http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332266087&sr=1-1 here is the motherboard http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-H...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332266017&sr=1-1

thanks bro.
 
No problem and by the way you may want to check out these benchmarks between the A6-3650 and the G620. I know you are going to use a 3500 not a 3650 but the difference between the two won't be much.

Yeah in that case go for the A6. Are you going to buy a graphics card at some point? If you are thinking of buying a graphics card in future, you may want a bigger case. The onboard video may/my not be sufficient enough for you depending on which games you want to play. Starcraft II likely will lag a bit on the those integrated graphics. The system requirements say you need a GeForce 6600 or Radeon 9800 Pro at minimum but they recommend you use an 8800 GTX which is a much more powerful card than your integrated video will be. The A6's onboard graphics are much stronger than the G620's by the way.
