Parts

Switch the APU for a modern Richland. It has more processing power for the price. And Instead of the blue i recommend a Green series. Very reliable!

Heres a Motherboard if you consider the new richland

to future proof it and make it easy to upgrade components later date its importand to start with a good motherboard, a 990fx chipset would be recommended and like someone else said a FX6300 would work well and give plenty of performance whilst retaining low power useage and stay cooler and quieter.

 

atleast go for a piledriver chip ad not bulldozer

got to love Asus components

A 990fx mobo is too expensive for this budget.
