Will this be enough for an office pc (just for regular multi tasking, word, excel power point etc...)? I ve had heard good things about the case w/ PSU from rosewill, I have also owned one for 5 months already without a problem. I am concerned mostly with the athlon 5350. I need a small form factor, not necessarelly ITX, as micro atx might be fine too. 

 

Athlon 5350 Kabini AM1 $64.99

ADATA XPG 8 GB 1600 MHZ Ram $69.99

Logitec MK120 Mouse and Keyboard $17.99

MSI AM1 Itx HDMI motherboard $35.99

WD Blue 1 TB $59.99

Rosewill RS-MI-01 BK Mini ITX Case with 250W PSU - $44.99

Windows (I already have a copy), 

 

Total with shipping to Walrusland: $304.65

 

If you guys have any ideas let me know :D!

The ram honestly is probably overkill, 4gb would be enough in that case.. I think. Maybe use the money to upgrade the APU?

The 5350 is the best am1 processor, and it compares to a a6 6400k according to a friend and passmark benchmark. However an am1 platform is cheaper. But thank you, I might end up using just 4 GB and spending it on something else.

I'm a real noob to older gen AMD, so sorry :P
