I went with a gold rated PSU because it would be better for overclocking.

What is the general use of the PC? Not seeing a GPU, unless you're just using the PC for multimedia. And I'm almost certain most people would probably suggest either a FX8320 or a 6300

Why is your optical drive $100?

WarWolverineWarrior :

It's a bluray writer.

enemy1g :

Yeah. It is for multimedia (playing high quality bluray films and light gaming). The CPU has integrated radeon hd 8670D. It can do better with a bit of OC.

1 huge problem is that an apu at 600 dollars is nothing compared to a independent gpu. And a gold rated psu doesn't help overcloking it just insures that the psu works at above 87%

This build is far more overclockable and far more powerful than your system at the same price
