I've been working on a  bunch of cheap systems and built a system for my parents so I've decided to update. I decided to just get a cheap build for now until I can get my workstation build funded (looking at a $1700 rig). 

I decided to just get this AMD apu based build so I could skip the video card and just turn this into a htpc when i get my other rig up. 

Here's the build. Let me know what you think.

 

AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core Processor

Asus F2A55-M/CSM Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard

G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory

Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 MicroATX Mid Tower Case

Cooler Master SickleFlow 69.7 CFM 120mm Fan

Cooler Master GX 450W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply

 

    CPU - AMD 6800k; Mobo - ASRock FM2A88M-HD+; RAM G. SKill 8GB(2x4gb); GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580; Case - NZXT H230; Storage - Toshiba 1tb HDD, OCZ Agility 3 120 gb; Silverstone 600w 80+ bronze; Display - Dell 24 in., Generic 20 in.; Cooling - Antec Kuhler H20 620; Keyboard - Genereic Dell; Mouse - Logitech m510; Sound - Syba USB 2.0 DAC

Sickleflow fans aren't very good and for $5 more you can get a xfx power supply which is a seasonic rebrand.

APU's use system ram instead of dedicated vram.

The only thing that I can  see is that having 2133 memory is that it increases the front side  bust and the data  flow of both  the GPU an cpu  of the Amd chip , also  improves video response timing but what is so unusual is that it still is 8 Gb of memory

How's that unusual?
