Why did you choose a motherboard without knowing the CPU you are getting?

What shop are you buying from?

I didn't choose the MB the dad did he saw it was on discount

Get a A8 or A10, should be ok, for gpu I recommend going with the R7 260(x) or 265, psu I would recommend the Seasonic gold 500W for around S$99, should be ok

that still doesnt make anysense

Singapore man, buying a AM3+ socket is as expensive as a intel platform, so here the only way you can save is if you buy AM2+

Well you first gotta choose a CPU and then the MoBo, based on the socket. Can you please tell me a shop they are buying from?

Even though I am not him, I think he would most likely buy them locally, in singapore

Site won't load. Mabye go with a Athlon II x4 760k or an A8 / A10 (as said above) and if possible a 270x or 270. a 450 - 500w PSU should be enough. 8GB of RAM and a 500GB - 1TB HDD. As for the Optical drive get the cheapest you can find, mabye the Samsung sh-224db/bebe.
