400$ Gaming PC Build

[James2341]

I found almost what i want but i don't know what motherboard to chose. The motherboard on the list isn't available and would I need a Mid tower case? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Triqkster/saved/pJZ2FT

So -
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor ($73.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A75M Pro4+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Value 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($37.98 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($48.25 @ Newegg)
Video Card: MSI Radeon R7 265 2GB Video Card ($134.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Rosewill FBM-01 MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($29.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($19.99 @ Micro Center)
Total: $345.18

Try 2 x 2gb ram - runs faster than 1 x 4gb

Your mini mobo will fit your mini case.

Would everything in masterdell's build fit in the NZXT Source 210 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case?

 

[James2341]

why on this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/W2QmQ7 at the bottom it says "Some AMD A78 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaveri CPUs."

 

[MasterDell]

Here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/847mQ7

That wont have the gamble of needing a BIOS update and its also a better deal right now.

For $5 more, you can get a 1TB WD Caviar Green, much better than a cheap 500Gb Toshiba Hdd.

Also runs at lower speeds which means it will perform worse, but okay.

Caviar Green: Twice storage, more energy efficient and will perform worse.
Toshiba: Half the storage and will perform better.

You can pick OP.
