Alright, so money is tight but I should be able to scrounge up enough from selling my laptop and my PSVita to cover the cost of an upgrade rather easily. And keep in mind this is a complete build minus the mouse cause I already have one. I'm looking for ideas to where I can shave off a couple bucks but still keep it in the quality range, and also if you see something that wont work together let me know. Thanks Guys!

The A10 5800K has a HD7660D built onto the same die, comes with some pretty good reviews. Currently in my laptop it has an A4 3300M which is garbage in comparison. Basically it is a starting point for future builds without having to fork over cash out of pocket after selling this laptop and a few other odds and ends I no longer use. But as for the case Ice, I have used almost exclusively Corsair cases and they are far superior than any others I have used, but the case was one of the points where I could cut down on the cost. Mostly cause it is an easily upgrade-able item with relatively low cost.
 
Yeah I have always gone with ASUS for most of my builds, this is the cheapest complete build I have ever attempted. The Elitegroup MOBO's aren't bad, all of the lower priced ASRock ones Micro ATX, and going with the Elitegroup saves me $20 :/
