Hi,

I'm trying to build a cheap PC just for media editing and a little bit of gaming such as COD 4 etc. So nothing to powerful at all, although I do want it to be fast and efficient.

I've come across these parts and I was wondering if it is all compatible and would create the system I desire

PROCESSOR

AMD x2 A6-5400K Dual Core 3.6Ghz FM2 CPU

MOTHERBOARD
MSI FM2-A55M-E33 FM2 AMD A55

RAM

GRAPHICS CARD

What do you guys think, Thanks in advance :)
 
Those processors have graphics built-in - not really geared towards gamers who are buying proper graphics cards. If you want to play everything at 1080p and good settings, you want to be looking at a GTX660 really... and I'd recommend an i5 3450, or 3570K if you're into overclocking.
