APU Build Help

[tek inpektor]

I need help configuring an APU Gaming PC that is less than $400 USD.

Needs to run games 40-60 fps @ 720p medium settings.

No peripherals needed.

No OS needed.

It is FM2+ so you can upgrade to kaveri later if you wanted. You can also add a low-power gpu like a 750ti if you wanted. To save money you can go with the stock cooler but if you are going to game on it, it's gonna sound like a hair dryer and it will be throttling
