Hey guys!

After having my current PC for so many years, I have decided to sell it and build new one from parts.
I have a limited budget (max 250-300 euros) and I don't need high-end PC.
My current planning is this:

CPU - AMD A-Series A6-3650 X3 SFM1 - 66 euros
Motherboard - ASRock A75M-HVS - 42 euros
RAM - 2x Kingston 4GB PC12800 DDR3 CL11 - 34 euros
PSU - Codegen QoRi ATX 550W ATX-550 - 17 euros
HDD - Western Digital CAVIAR GREEN 500GB 64MB WD5000AZRX - 52 euros
Case - Still need to choose.

Graphics - I'm not sure, should I choose ASUS Radeon HD6670 1GB DDR3 or Gigabyte Radeon HD6570 2GB DDR3. Price difference is close to 0.

And currently I am at 267 euros.

Ideas/recommendations?

If you're going to buy a GPU then don't pick that CPU, it already comes with integrated graphics which would be a waste of money. Either don't grab a graphics card or look into other processors - the intel Celeron ones are nice for low budget builds

I was planning to have more graphics power by using the AMD Dual Graphics, that is graphics card and CPU's GPU power together.

i'd say that's pointless but im actually not sure. Either way what I would do is spend more cash on a better gpu (7770) with a Celeron processor, but your idea might be fine too

I wonder why that 500GB HDD costs more than all those other things.

No idea, HDDs are high priced here.

And I have APU on my laptop aswell, it isn't a bad thing. Don't think it might be any worse on that one.

You could always get a lower size, say 320gb, that should save you some couple cashes

Well, the shop, where I am buying parts from, only offers 250GB one for 5 euros less. Nothing else.
And other shops offer same prices.

Well, to answer your very first question, there's simply no good GPU for your PC without going over the 300 euros budget. If that's seriously your limit, then unless you change to a normal CPU, there's nothing you can do.

I'm still trying to decide, which one of these 2.

I just posted my old one on the internet for sale, as soon as I get rid of it, I will start buying parts.
Are rest of the parts okay so far or should I change anything?

Yeah, PSU, RAM and HDD are good.

I chose for HD6670, seems better than the other one.
I put my current one up for sale, so when I get rid of it, I'll start ordering the parts. Still have to choose a case and I might change the HDD, if I see any better offers.

Thanks for all the help, guys. :)
