Budget please. AMD Kaveri APU is compatible with this Socket. FM2+

Your motherboard is MATX so you could get a 350D from Corsair, erm... Bitfenix Prodigy M.

8Gbs of ram is fine. Unless you want 16Gb...I dunno.

For storage see if you can find a get hold of a 120/250Gb ssd and throw in a 1Tb+ mass storage drive.

For a graphics card you should decide for yourself.

 

No need for a dvd/cd drive. Unless your like me who watches a tonne of movies.

 

Edit ; Ok OK my bad...Must DVD :P

no problem. if you need more graphical power then your next best shot is 7870ghz @ 180$ or r9 270

and if you want absolute beast 760 @ 250$ is your best bet
