I need pretty much the cheapest full gaming setup I can get away with for light 1080p 60 fps gaming like cs:go (I really want to buy new). My main concerns are whether the power supply is going to be okay and if the 560 going to be good enough (im not looking for great). Also, I need a wireless card and this one was just the most popular on pcpartpicker so I guess it's fine. Finally, is there something I really need to upgrade or change?

LTT recently did a video on the best gaming/workstation setups for $500, $1,000 and $2,000. You could look at their $500 build and make some upgrades (SSD, 16 GB RAM etc.).
