Need help with PC parts

[Kherm]

I am looking to build a PC and my budget is currently 250$. But Wait, this budget is for a CPU, mobo and PSU only. I've already got a sufficient case, memory, and HDD, and I plan on purchasing a graphics card and SSD later. Here's what I have in mind:

Any critiques or changes are greatly appreciated. Thank You

Maybe going AMD will be a better route.

 

FX 8320/6300

Any 970 AMD mobo will do ( No ECS tho)

Psu is fine.

@Bubblewhale, I know that AM3+ isn't ideal with mATX but it is my only option.

 

BTW, how does this mobo sound instead?

Also, Does the FX-6350 have integrated graphics for the time being before I have enough money to buy a graphics card?

 

Thanks!

No, you would need FM2 cpu, the mobo has a integrated gpu that you can use for now.

@Bubblewhale, thank you so much for your help!

 

I think the final verdict is the FX-6350 and the Gigabyte mATX motherboard with integrated graphics. Seems like a really good value, especially considering I can't have an ATX mobo.
