You're good as gold.

Are you using this for gaming? It's really unbalanced... Also no, don't pair that PSU with that system. it's got enough wattage but it's a POS power supply for your GPU

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Probably about 300 watts for a little future expansion. I do suggest changing the graphics card though. Linus made a video about this it is on his channel called don't buy cheap graphics cards. The quality of that gpu is way less than $50 and if you can in any way get a better one it would benefit you greatly.

 

Edit - Probably about 300 watts unless you want future expansion

Well the apu wouldn't be strong enough to play recent triple a titles at anything higher than ultra low..

edit- also you'll be needing 8GB of ram :) What is your total budget? We could probalby make you something better

So when you sent us a link you sent us a mass URL to PCPartPicker that basically just lists out the stuff that was on our most recent parts list. I see a 4790k, 280X, Core 500 case, a few other things. Does that look like yours?

 

Anyways, if that is your system here is a more balanced one.

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($174.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: MSI Z97I AC Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($129.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($44.89 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Crucial BX200 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($64.99 @ Amazon) 
Case: Fractal Design Core 500 Mini ITX Desktop Case  ($59.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Total: $599.82
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
