Just upgraded my brothers computer, only really bought 4 new parts though, CPU, mobo, case and cooler, and gave him my displaced 7850. I wanted to give him something a bit more powerful, at the same time smaller, and with a better built case than the Antec 300.
Bitfenix Prodigy w/120mm front fan, 140mm Rosewill Hyperborea exhaust fan
ASRock FM2A85X-ITX Mini-ITX Motherboard
AMD A8-6600K APU w/CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 cooler
8GB Corsair DDR3-1333 RAM
XFX DD Radeon HD 7850/2GB
128GB Sandisk Extreme SSD
WD Blue 500GB HDD
ASUS DVD+RW
Antec Neo Eco 400C PSU.
Pretty happy with how it came out. It's much smaller, much quieter, and more power efficient compared to the Phenom II X4 965.
Also yes, cable management doesn't really exist in a case like this lol.
