Hey guys,

I have an old computer that I built about 9 years ago, and now I would like to start fresh and build a new computer (On a budget). It has been a while since I have been online looking for PC Components so I am wondering if my components that I selected are compatible with each other. Please let me know what you think (All from NewEgg.com)

GIGABYTE GA-F2A78M-D3H FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 (Bolton D3) 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

HyperX Fury White Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model HX318C10FW/4

AMD A6-5400K Trinity Dual-Core 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 65W AD540KOKHJBOX Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7540D

LG Internal 24x Super Multi with M-DISC Support SATA Model GH24NSC0B - OEM

Trying to Re-Purpose My Computer Case as Well:

XION II XON-103 Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply
 
Not looking to spend much more, or to have a machine that is crazy fast, just need something for everyday computing.
 
Like I said grab a refurb, you get warranty, OS license and a known working system.
You should at least replace the PSU that's of very questionable quality and the A6 CPU is very slow compared to a i3 or i5.

Hell, he doesn't need a Core i3 to be faster than the Trinity dual-core.

He just needs an Intel Celeron. They're exactly the same price as that $45 A6-5400K:
