Test

[pxrx63]

I've been running an old computer that's about 6 years old and have replaced the power supply and upgraded the graphics twice. Now it's just completely outdated (with a Pentium D 2.66 GHz Processor) and I've decided to finally (basically) build a new computer.

What I plan on reusing:

PSU: PSU

HDD: HDD

What I want to do with the computer: Play games and simple school work with MS Office. I don't need settings to be any higher than medium really, key is to keep cost below $300-350. I would like to know if what I have so far is all compatible and the best option for the price.

Here is what I have picked out so far:

Wish List

So that gives me a PSU, CPU, Graphics, Case, RAM, HDD, MOBO. I also have a disk drive that will probably work as well, but I don't know it's model nor do I particularly care if it works. Would this all work for a cheap computer upgrade?

MOBO

Case

APU

RAM

I don't really plan on overclocking and will probably buy a graphics card down the line to hybrid crossfire with the APU. I plan on buying in about a week. All of this right now is about $300 with tax and s&h.

So that gives me a PSU, APU, Case, RAM, HDD, MOBO. I also have a disk drive that will probably work as well, but I don't know it's model nor do I particularly care if it works. I would like to be able to play games like Guild Wars 2, Metro 2033, Crusader Kings II at least on low settings with 20-30+ fps. Would this all work for a cheap computer upgrade? Thanks in advance!
