For the price that's not bad (New I Assume?)

You can purchase the AMD A10-6800K APU for cheap and not have a need for a dedicated graphics card. This will give you Radeon HD 8670D graphics and a quad core cpu @ 4.1GHz on the same die.

Or if you can find the AMD 760K you could overclock. 4.7ghz is doable and throw in a graphics card.

1866Mhz on the memory supported natively is good.

Depends on your budget really but I say for the price your getting that board for your off to a good start. Similar boards are going for $50 here in the states.

Of course, you would need to invest in a aftermarket cooler for your AMD CPU

Being a Micro ATX board I would pay attention to proper air flow if going with a micro ATX case.

Cons: doesn't have hdmi or usb 3.0, sata II

Hi Brian

I do not have a power supply yet. What would you go with?

GPU will determine what Power Supply you will need.
