After 10 years in service, I will be replacing my HP pavillion a1600n with a amd athlon II X2 3800+ cpu and a amd 5450 graphics card. This time I will be building my own computer because none of the pre-built ones seem right to me ( no ssd, markup, gpu). As I will be replacing this computer in another 10 years, I need the cpu to be as strong as possible and since I game only once in while I will be using the igpu until Pascal or the next amd architecture comes out. I am mostly going to be using this computer for studies and like I said some gaming. my budget is about 700-750$ cad not including tax. Also I will be using a power supply I already have.
Here is something I came up with:
