Not very good motherboard or power supply choice. What is your max hardware budget?

If you live near a micro center, you can get the motherboard free with combo on that CPU. Otherwise not a bad build.

http://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx ($89 for 6300 with a comparable mobo)


(I prefer http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 for a PSU at that wattage)

If you can take advantage of the Microcenter combo on the CPU/Mobo you should have cash to get an SSD boot drive (Which is a lovely thing to have and one of the first things I'd put in once I hit my minimum GPU/CPU requirements).

If you don't have a microcenter, trawl around the open box/ refurb sections of retailers, PCpartpicker doesn't grab those deals and sometimes they can get you a part for less or a tier higher for the same cost. It also doesn't do a great job searching parts combos, seeing as how the CPU/Mobo discount has been around at microcenter for years now. Combos are rarely worth it, but some of them are nice.
