MSI BUILD SUGGESTIONS

Alright so I was able to obtain an un opened MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 Mother Board and was wondering what would be a good build to go along with it.

I have a $1000-$1500 dollar budget but would prefer to stay in the $1000 Range.

I can't recommend using that board in a 1K USD build to be honest :P

That board is FM2, which is the socket for AMD's APU processors.

 

With a budget like that you can probably go for an i5 4460, R9 290X/GTX 970 and a good Intel board and HDD+SSD.

But only if you are willing to not use (or sell) that board you got.

Theres a good 1000-1500 dollar build didnt know if you needed an operating system or screen so i just added them. you could of course take them out to save money.

just for future reference there is nothing on the fm2 socket you could get that should ever been in a 1000 dollar build.
