Will I be able to make a working computer with the hardware in the link below? Also are there any components I might want that I missed?

Do you already have any of these or are you buying new?

Also, ditch the dedicated NIC and just use the onboard one.

These are new parts that need to be bought... Also, I am completely new to this, so what is NIC exactly? :)

[EDIT] Oh NIC is ethernet port... Ok I'll remove that...

Why do you need a separate PCI ethernet card?

Fixed it..... Didn't see that the mobo had one already...

What budget are you working with? FM2 is a poor choice for buying new at this point.

Other then the APU and motherboard being pretty lowend. That case and power supply are junk. Some reason your wanting a slim micro case? This one is still lowend but a lot better then the one you picked.

Ok....... Will this case be compatible with all the other parts? And no, there is no reason for wanting a slim micro case. I just wanted a cheap case.... Also, what would thebenefits of buying a higher end APU and mobo be?

You don't want that hard drive either, get this one instead.

Also why do you need 16gb of ram? 8gb should be plenty for you.

What exactly are you going to be using this system for?

Faster speed, better graphics.

My suggestion on motherboard and cpu is this.

motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128894

cpu - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113371&ignorebbr=1

I just think going dual core is stupid these days.

Define that in dollar figures please.

Agreed, that 7300 won't do you any favors. Even the 7400K has 33% more GPU resources. You'd also want faster RAM, at least 2133.

Where do you live? Microcenter usually has decent deals on bundles that will help you a lot more.

We live in washington...... I'll check all the links everyone has.......... Then will (Most likely) replace what I have picked already... And a budget will be, hmm.... $520 (That includes price of OS [$119.99])

Well, we kinda just want 16, mostly because we have another computer that has 12, and its slow. We check the task manager and its almost all used... Just internet browsing, video watching, stuff like that, no gaming. Thats for a different computer :).
 
I've never seen my computer use all 12gb of ram from web browsing or video watching...

There might be another problem with your computer that you might want to look into.

You shouldn't be slow with 12gb. What processor does it have? And you probably have a lot of programs running at bootup that needs to be disabled or a possible malware infection going on.

Yeah, we think there might be something bad on it... But, I just checked it now, its using 50% of it ... But then I checked, it has a 1.70GHz processor running windows 10 -_-

Yeah we think there might be another problem, but i checked the usage and right now its at about 50%.... But then I looked and found out that the processor speed is only 1.70GHz and its running windows 10 -_-
 
What processor is in that system? Seems pretty overkill to have 12gb of ram on a low end processor. It might only show 1.70ghz momentarily due to C1 states though.
