So i travel to my mum's house quite a few times a year for weeks at a time, and i had a HP laptop that i used when i go there, but i really couldnt stand it, i hate the TN screen i hate the keyboard etc. so i sold my laptop for $450 and im putting some extra cash on top of it to build a somewhat small form factor pc to bring with me instead. I'll be using it for General purpose eg. Web browsing, Torrenting, music, video's, burning dvd's and some light gaming (Dota 2 mainly).

I Figure an APU will do me just fine for dota, and the reason im getting a 500w PSU is because its very likely i will be adding a dedicated GPU later on. Also i have a few SSD's lying around so ill use one of them as my main drive.

 

Please tell me what you think! wil be getting the parts in the next couple of days :)
