Budget Gaming/Work PC Parts

[CoolGuyJones24]

So I'm building a PC for light gaming and want to know how these parts would work out/ suggestions.

CPU: Amd A8 7600 quad core 3.1 GHz APU

Mobo: MSI Grenade A68h (I have had a good experience with this board)

RAM: ADATA XPG V1 DDR3 2133MHz (PC3 17000) 8GB (4GBx2)

Go for a Pentium G4600 and B250 mobo along with 2x4gb of 2400 ram.

What is "light gaming" exactly? Are you playing Half Life 2 for 4 hours or Crysis 3 for 10 minutes, both could be "light" gaming.

What game are you playing?
Budget?
What PSU?
What monitor you've got?

the cpu is compatible with motherboard according to this listing http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/A68HM_GRENADE.html
and the ram is compatible according to https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/A68HM-GRENADE.html#hero-specification

questions:
1. how much are you spending on the trio2 of parts ?
2. why stop at A8 7600 why not push for a few more dollars and get A10 CPU ?
