Hi, This is my first ever computer build and I am really confused about what to do, I have sourced the parts but I don't know whether they are compatible or if I need anything else, for the record I am not building a gaming PC I am just building one because I need a new one and I fancied a challenge of building it myself. You may bed wondering why there is no power supply or case on my parts list, this is where I am looking for some help. I would like to purchase a case and PSU bundle, could someone help me find one for under £40.00

In your case, I would get a AMD APU FM2+ socket and processor. The first of the year they are releasing Kaveri with Steamroller cores. Plus getting a case with a power supply bundle, 95% time its a crap power supply.
 
If I were you I'd go AMD. A-series cards are cheap, decent, and have fairly good integrated graphics.

A8-5600k [£60]

You can get even cheaper A-series cores if that will work for you.

Mobo [£30]

This is on U.S. Newegg, but I'm sure you can search the parts where you are. Everything else you have is good.


Case: Antec Three Hundred Two [£40]

PSU: Generic Rosewill one [£28]

I couldn't fine a bundle for £40. Maybe someone else can take a shot at it.

Click to expand...

*looks at the psu suggestion* I think getting a corsair cx 430 would be a bit wiser.
 
The Processor I have chosen is the AMD A8 5600K Black Edition, the processor, the Gigabyte F2A88XM, the Processors Socket is FM2, whereas the Motherboards socket compatibility is FM2+, are they compatible?
 
Would get the GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-UP4 myself. If you wait a few weeks Kaveri with Steamroller cores is being released. If not just get a cheap FM2 processor then upgrade when Kaveri comes out. You can get a AMD A4-4000 Richland for like 50 bucks. If not get the A8 6600K instead of the A8 5600K. Yes, FM2 processors work on FM2+ boards
