First pc. VERY VERY BUDGET

[Kympsgod]

Ok. I want to make a new pc for mostly lower power needing games such as csgo and minecraft @1080 60fps. Also I want to do a bit of photoshoping and graphic design type things. 

The specs

Cpu- Amd A10-7700k ( may over clock to about 4ghz)

Mobo- Asus A68HM-K 

Ram- kingston hyperx fury 4gb 1866

Storge- 500gb 6.0gb/sec samsung hardrive

Case- Radimax ATX-249B

Power supply- EVGA 400 watt

Will this be a good computer for what I want to do?? Please help

Do you already have the windows key/license? If not your not going to build a computer for that price. Prebuilt may be the way to go

 

Monitor? keyboard? mouse? already have or need?

at this price point you always benefit from every bit more money you can spent. For 250 that system? not bad! 
However having an SSD, GPU of 8gb RAM would make huge differences

Considering the interest in gaming and design, even content creation, you might want at least 8 gigs of ram. It really isn't that much more expensive.

That PC should run MC @ 60 FPS because anything really can

minecraft can be really demanding if you crank up the settings

The iGPU in that APU is quite potent, You need at least a GTX 750 or R7 250X to beat it. 740 or R7 250 won't do it.

My suggestion is to get stuff from your local classifieds or buy used from trustworthy sellers on ebay. Try to find a used motherboard and CPU, perhaps an i5 2500 or something. I have seen full working systems go for like 100 bucks that have the above parts. Throw in a B stock EVGA PSU and a GPU and away you go

True but at 1080p and 60 FPS that pc should have no problems

How about this? You'd need a better cooler though to overclock but that PSU would be able to support some upgrades such a low power graphics card (950?) in the future.
