I am building a system for a friend, well a birthday gift for his mom. He just wanted a fast internet surfing and very minor e mail stuff etc. So I put this together for him AMD A8 5600 asus mobo 120 gig ssd 4 gb ram and windows 7. Is that too much or is this a future proof set up for very light use? Now mind you every thing total shipped with the OS was 460... he also selected to go with just the single ssd as he said she didnt need anymore then that. But even so no big deal as if she needs more another 500gb is 60 bucks away.

That system will perform just fine for that application. I'd say your good to go. It would be interesting to see a little more detail on it. Would you mind posting your build specs using PCpartPicker. After you've specced it just click on the BBcode button and copy it to the clipboard and then Paste it into your post.
