    Question New Browsing / light gaming build - thoughts?

    Hi there

    Due to a deal coming up for cheap(ish) components on a certain other forum, I should have the following parts arriving on Thursday. Please note they are all a bit 2nd hand or I would have upped the spec on the CPU at least.

    CPU: FM1 Amd Llano a6-3500 (2.1-2.4ghz, Triple Core).
    Mobo: Gigabyte A75N-USB3 Mini ITX Skt FM1
    Case/PSU: Inwin BP655 Mini ITX Case with 300watt psu
    Memory: 2*2gb DDR3 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 1.65v
    Hard drive: Sata2 2tb drive, 7200rpm

    The use of the PC is just for surfing, playing flash games and perhaps playing the occasional light 3d game. Resolution is likely to be low. Do you think it seems like a solid build all in all? I am looking forward to seeing what you can get for the money these days. Reports of poor 2d performance are a bit worrying.

    Anyone got one of these CPUs or similar got any first hand thoughts? And finally, how much would you pay for this system (minus the HD)? Just wanna see if I got value for money

    Many thanks

    The IGP should be able to even run some newer games at reasonable settings:
