Hey o/

I'm wondering if this is an okay value build?
I have never built computers with AMD parts, so I don't really know what
is good and what is not good, but for me this looks okay 😛

It would be great with some opinions or something :)

Solution
In that case it should be alright.

The motherboard is pretty high end for the rest of the PC though. You could save some money getting a cheaper board and then upgrade to an a8 maybe.


It will be used for just the normal web surfing and every day stuff, aswell as some games in the browser or old non-demanding games.
 
Your PC doesn't have a video card. don't think it needs 8gigs of ram. PSU is way overkill. Don't think it's worth spending so much on the case + monitor keyboard and mouse.
