It seems like it is pretty easy to find a mobo that works with the CPU you choose. Other parts like HDD and PSU seem to be universal. I still would like a few guys on here to quickly peek thru my list. Please note I am very green at building so it is possible I made a really silly mistake.

Sorry I didn't properly post PC part picker. I will find out how to do it right next time.

I did look at the A10. Pretty interesting and I am definitely open to it. I heard that it performs really well for a NON dedicated graphic card.

Thanks.
