What do you guys think of this build?

[Wrb]

Hello guys,

 

I am going to build my first PC within the next couple of months and i was wondering if you had any advice or things you might recommend. What i was planning on doing was buying an A10 APU this year as I'm only going to running games like CS:GO on mid settings and perhaps Cities Skylines on lower settings, then i can get a beefy graphics card next year for more GPU intensive games. My budget is about £250 and as I'm a first time builder i wanted to make it easy to build. Anyway, here's the link to the build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/KsGXsJ. Huge thanks for helping me with this!

 

Also, i have a mouse, keyboard and monitor already so i don't need them in the build.

i would recommend getting an evga 500b so you can add a decent GPU in the future, Also i would recommend 2133mhz ram as with apus, faster ram greatly improves performance.

You will want a better power supply, and a better drive.

Drive from WD or Seagate

And it is better if it's dual channel.

I agree with this suggestion. 

[SkixAces]

Well, 430W should be enough. Look at the next gen polaris gpu's. They are going to be low-mid end with a very low power consumption and pretty good performance.

He should be fine with just 430W

I was going to go for a single stick now so can add more of it later without having to waste some.

you can do that, but i would recommend at least 2133mhz ram

Having only one stick though will severely impact your fps on an APU. Just saying.

In my professional opinion I think that if you take all those parts and put them together you will get a computer that can do things.

I would get a skylake i3 and a H110 mobo. Yes, the iGPU is worse, but it's enough for CSGO.

[Wrb]

Hello again, just looking in pcpartpicker, and ive decided to go for the gigabyte GA F2a68hm-hd2 motherboard as someone sugested, but it says that:  "Deepcool TESSERACT BF ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-HD2 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers." Is this going to be a problem or can I just use the back usb3 ports and wire them to the front?
