You are correct, totally forgot (shows how much I work with FM2)

I didn't really know you didn't need like all of this stuff. I'm assuming the power supply is at least partially decent.

Unless I am missing something, it seems this is all you need:

I can't really get it lower than this. I haven't really looked into FM2 lately, so I don't know how it performs on that board.
 
Ah, that actually shaves the price alot, so I can work a little better here.

Antec is a bit more reliable in their parts, so I would go for that.
