Thoughts on build. Named: cheap

[AngelicBeatz]

Guys you think I could get high settings in league with this build or could I got even cheaper on something? I'm only dropping 230$ max. Not ready to dish out another gaming gaming PC till I get back on my feet but this is just basics.

I have a 750ti, monitor, keyboard, and mouse and so on just need the box it self.

 

my plan was to just get some plexiglass and mount the PC to it and mount that on the wall. I have to get a vesa adapter (27$ 22cw hp) for my monitor due to losing the original stand. PC case made out of wood? Idk give me some thoughts. (If I do go wooden for case I will def make it my one master piece and later on get the better parts.

why an apu if you have a dedicated gpu? and you should probably get a better quality psu

You say $230 max?  I'm assuming that's just the PC?  So lets cut the dual core APU.  (Since if you do decide to do some gaming, that won't be the big bottleneck.) and put a quad core in there.  

 

Something like this maybe?

Yes I am recommending a fucking Corsair green labeled CX PSU but you know what, this is a low powered build and versus the PSU he has in the build, this is probably 100 times less chinesum so...win win?  (resulting in 100 times less chances of shitting your pants when it blows...)

Both the PSUs you and I recommended have at least 80+ certification also... much more reliable (in theory) than the one he originally picked.

Well both are known to not blow up with a lower powered build vs a full on chinesum crap so...kinda obvious in my opinion

I legit can't go 8gbs want to but can't yet.

 

As far as psu, I choose the cheapest is all. Does it have to be those I mean would Any 30$ seasonic 80+ do?

 

also reasoning on apu was just pricing. I've never had one nor delt with one.

 

 The build can't pass 200$ it self due to the last 30$ being the vesa mount off of amazon.

 

i know I'm cheaping out but it's the whole point I'm going back to college and want something that I can hang on the wall and forget it's there.

Any seasonic PSU will do, doesn't matter what but if it's Seasonic branded then it's most likely to be safe even for a high end build (if it has enough wattage)
