Hello,

A friend of mine asked me to build a budget PC for him around 300 $/euros. Mostly just for browsing web, watching vids and maybe rarely play some games.

What I came up with is right here:

APU: AMD A8-Series A8-7650K X4
MB: Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-S1
RAM: Kingston 4GB PC12800 DDR3
PSU: Corsair Builder CX430 ATX2.3 80+ 430W
HDD: Western Digital CAVIAR Blue 500GB
Case: CHIEFTEC MICROATX MINI TOWER XT-01B

Which results in 299 euros.

Any suggestions, thoughts or tips will be highly appreciated.

Best wishes,
Marty
