Thoughts on This Build?

[ArcticSalad]

Hi everyone, this is going to be a home/family PC I am putting together for somebody and I'm looking for any thoughts or suggestions. Quick responsiveness and long lasting are the two key traits for this system. It won't be handling anything extremely demanding performance-wise.

 

I'm particularly wondering about the SSD; The Kingston A400 480GB seems like a good deal for only $100 CAD but I'm unsure on the quality and the speeds appear to be lower than many other SSDs. What are your thoughts on this?

 

Note: Prices are in Canadian Dollars.

I disagree, OP should keep the CX450M; It's a solid, well-built semi-modular PSU.

 

Refer to the PSU tier list:

I've seen it used often in budget builds but I can't it on the list. Oh and I didn't notice that the case has a side panel, so semi-modular is better. You're right I was wrong.

The A400 is very slow by SSD standards, however it will still run laps around average mechanical drives. The 480GB version for that price is a very good deal. 

 

Other than that, it's a solid build for a family PC.

I would say the unit is about a Tier 5 or 6... you might as well get a VS.
