Budget? And no, the MOBO is not compatible with the CPU.

For $400, you shouldn't expect very big gaming performance.

Since this is a website about Minecraft, I should state that Minecraft works better the faster your processor is. Minecraft is programmed to only use one core of your processor, but can use multiple cores with the use of Optifine.

So if your just playing Minecraft on the computer, it's ok to settle with Intel HD graphics on the Intel side, or integrated AMD APU graphics on the AMD side (or if your going really cheap, pick one of those older processor without integrated graphics). Just make sure you have a processor speed of about 3ghz or faster.

@OP, that build is horrible. Drop the A6, go with a a10-7850k. Then you can drop the GPU, and drop the cpu cooler, and you don't need a case fan, as it comes with a few anyways. I don't think that MOBO is even compatible? (Someone correct me on that if I'm wrong.) And do not get a SSD if you're going for a budget build. You'll only be wasting money. Go with a 500gb/750gb/1tb harddrive. I've seen some 1tb around 40-50 dollars before.

Unfortunately, no. i run dual AMD 7770's and they still get pretty hot while running BF4 and Titanfall. also, 32 Gb of primary storage won't get you far. you can't even fit your OS on that. if your are on a REALLY tight budget go for one of AMD's new APU's, also ditch the idea of an SSD and go with a 500 gb Western Digital or Seagate 7200 rpm drive, not the fastest, but its a start. finally, do not, i repeat DO NOT get a USB wifi adapter, worst decision possible. grab an Asus pce wifi adapter.

I think you'd be better off with an APU instead of the cheap CPU/GPU setup.

What's your overall budget?
Do you need an operating system, keyboard, mouse, wireless network card, or monitor?
What do you intend on playing with this build? (Include programs that you might use as well, such as Photoshop)
