no RAM?

no storage?

 

Get a good 1600MHz 8GB kit....

 

Get an SSD or a 1TB Barracuda...

 

Edit: Also, get a beefy cooler (DeepCool Lucifer / Cooler Master Hyper 212)... The stock cooler for the A8 is crap...

 

Edit2: I'm assuming you have a case to put these things in...

I need to keep under this budget, Unless you can cut down on any of those components, i cant get a cooler :(

As i said, This is an upgrade list, I have the other things (ram, storage) I just need these main parts upgraded.

 

Are you sure you don't want to go the Intel route?

 

Do you have a good graphics card?

I dont have a graphics card, I currently run an APU, If you can make an intel version with a CPU that allows more a PCIE x16 and a PCIEx1 running at the same time, be my guest!

Cant do much without a budget. also don't buy parts from cpl online they have really bad reviews. get your parts from pccasegear they have alot better reviews and are only half an hour away from. i myself as a fellow Aussie have had experience with pccasegear and they are great.  http://www.pccasegear.com/

Its when dragons have so much sex that the cpu cant handle it

I'm not sure how the 750 would perform compared to the 250 in Dual Graphics... This system should have a solid single-core performance...

 

You can drop the cooler or swap the graphics card for a 250 if you're really short on budget...

I have to agree that PCCasegear are a very good company but the shipping is quite expensive.
