AMD A8-3850 Quad-Core / MSI MB SuperCombo $230 at Newegg

Dumb grouping... a full size gaming tower and a full ATX mobo for an APU, and PSU that not at all efficient. Why?

Now I would’ve said for the Case and PSU go with AMD Athlon II X4 651K Llano 3.0GHz Socket FM1 Quad-Core Desktop Processor AD651KWNGXBOX. That has no graphics and let someone choose the level of graphics they want. What would’ve been even better is a OEM/tray of that Athlon Llano and included a decent aftermarket cooler to OC it on that mobo. Cheap fun gaming box.

Selling or building an APU system that's not compact and efficient, just seem so counterintuitive.

If you like this build... you could add this deal which gives you an XFX 6670 1Gb with GDDR5 and two sticks of AMD Entertainment Edition Memory for like $75.

Then run A-Series platform in "Dual Graphics", not any huge jump but respectable mild gaming and other. I mean with $300 invested not bad, while it will play that free Dirt SHOWDOWN very nicely I'm sure.

Although there they said Bad Company had some jumpy spots but playable 70% of the time with 1680x medium settings.
