how do you guys recommend this setup..i would like to keep it in small form factor n relatively cheap..use for movie, surfing and gaming (med setting would be enough for me thumbup.gif but look at the review on that APU..it could handle modern games quite good)

Mobo GA-F2A75M-HD2
APU A8 6600K blk + HD8570D
GSkill Value Ram 4GBx2 RM209
Psu Hexa 500w
Casing Jonsbo V3+

im still consider for SSD

budget?

1.6 to 1.7k would be better..current suggest specs still below 1.5k

You will need to get an ITX mobo to fit in the casing. Else, find a mATX casing will do.

still confuse with itx and mini itx..lol..can give some samples?

hmm..

cpu-Intel Core I3 4130-RM399
mobo-Asrock B85M-ITX-RM299
casing-Jonsbo U3-RM319 or Bitfenix Prodigy/Phenom-RM289
PSU-FSP Hexa 500w- RM149
Memory-Corsair 4gb ram-RM114
HDD-WB Blue 1TB-rm189
odd-Any DVD player-rm60
GPU-Sapphire HD 6670 1GB GDDR5-RM239

total-rm 1768

itx board is the small form factor, for example this is Asrock B85M-ITX board:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


while M-atx board are slightly larger, has more PCIE slots and memory slots, for example this is Asrock B75 Pro 3 M board:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


For ITX case like Jonsbo U3, only an ITX board can fit in.

It is because your budget allow dedicated graphic card that performs way better than APU.
Even a dual core g2020 RM179 + HD6670 RM239 will perform better than APU.
Plus, ITX mobo for FM2 socket is slightly harder to be found.
