I havent built a pc in about 10 years, so I'm a little out of the new technology, so I picked out some parts for a build and just need some comments on if they are compatible or if I should go with better or cheaper parts, I am on a budget and dont really want to go over $600, I dont need a case or a monitor , I mainly will be using my pc for gaming (mainly FPS games) and I do some graphic art, so I need it to run Illustrator and photoshop. I did not put a graphics card on there, I just figured I could get that later on, since its not a total necessity, if I have onboard video, just trying to save money to get my build started. Anyway , everyones input is very appreciated

for almost the same price, i would get this 890gx board instead.

or you could save some money with a 785g board.

and this cooler
Newegg.com - Sunbeam CR-CCTF 120 mm Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler W/TX-2
great for the price + it comes with a tube of tuniq tx-2 which we pretty much always recommend over as5.

just so you know though, unless you're playing some old games and/or on low res/low quality, you're not going to get real good gameplay from integrated video.
