woops didnt realize i went over the budget. ya youre right

op
alternatively, you could use an amd apu instead of a cpu + gpu setup. it better fits your budget but limits you when you want to upgrade.

Can you re-use your case, power supply and hard drive?

If so you could look at something like this.. same thing as i posted before, just minus case, psu and hdd

That's a decent choice too, Just keep in mind you'll just have to purchase a GPU at a later date because the integrated graphics on this are very bad for gaming.
It will run league and other low requirement games alright, but otherwise he built it that way with the intention of you adding on later.

is adding a gpu now will be a problem since processor already has an integrated one?

If you're going to add a GPU now, you may as well get an FX-6300 instead of an A8 or A10.

You won't have an issue, but I agree with Dexa... there isn't a point in buying this particular processor unless you want the integrated graphics to use temporarily while you get funds for a graphics card.

Or if the 6300 is too high budget, get an X4 860k.
