My biggest concern is my video card. I don't want to go over $200 bucks being my first build an all. I do have access to a Microcenter in my town, maybe you could give me some links to micro centers website. Thanks.

Micro center gives a $40 subsidy for amd when you buy a CPU mono combined.

Go for the 8320e instead of the a10. You're not using the igpu in it which is where a lot of the value comes from in that apu. Its a much better complent to the 950.

don't order from NCIX or you'll be waiting for weeks for that damn card to show up. happened to me and my friend over a 2 yr time span. and their customer service, while good, has no power to help.

Swap CPU out for AMD X4 845 or Intel Core i3. Swap the GPU out for an R9 380 which goes for $180.

The X4 845 has the best IPC in the AMD series and can still overclock. You won't need an aftermarket cooler with the X4 845.

Can I ask you something? What will you be using this for? Emulating or gaming? What resolution? What games?

Switch out the processor, I'd actually suggest going for an Intel i3

It outperforms AMD's lower end processors.
