Hi there,

I need to build a system for a friend on an extremely tight budget. Just wanted to check compatibility and see if you guys have any suggestions of exchanges I should make. I will list the components below.

CPU: FX-4100 - AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket A...
CPU cooler: Xigmatek praeton low profile. Xigmatek CAC-D9HH4-U02 PRAETON LD964 Low profile H...
Case: 1life with 500w PSU incorporated
ram: Corsair value select 1333 mhz ddr3
HDD: WD caviar blue 500 gb 16 mb sata III
CD drive: Cheapest I can find
MOBO: ASUS M5A78L-M LX AMD760G (780L) SKAM3+ ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD ...

This will be use for productivity reasons only, it will not play any games at all, just schedule keeping and browsing.
I need to buy this pretty soon so if you could please give suggestions I would really aprecciate it. :rockout:

How about the A6-5400k? it is also trinity, just Dual Core and cheaper. The max budget is 300€ and it needs to be from local shop, so I cant buy from Newegg (couldnt anyway since I live Portugal)

I am kinda hurting on the PSU, the case comes with a 500w one, but I always think of them as somewhat shady, and at 25€ case and PSU combo... Do you think it will be ok?

Find out the OEM of the powersupply and I could tell you. Considering the power draw it should be good enough...
