Does this setup have bottlenecks / problems? And are there better choices for better parts (better performance / cheaper).
It will be a home pc (word, email, internet, and some light games like minecraft and sims 2). It will be running on windows 7 ultimate. It is for my mom and sisters.
The budget is max. €400

Parts:

APU (cpu+gpu): AMD A8-6600K - 3.6 GHz
MOBO: ASUS F2A85-M
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1600MHz (Kingston HyperX Genesis)
HDD: 1TB 7200rpm (Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003)
PSU: 500W (OCZ CoreXStream)
Case: Cooler Master K280
DVD Burner: ASUS DRW 24F1ST

the cpu cooler will be the boxed amd one.
I know the PSU is a overkill but i think this one is just a high quality, if someone knows a cheaper suitable PSU (high quality so i know it won't die in a year or two)
maybe i will add an ssd but i don't think so because it win't be a high end pc.

A better power supply is the corsair cx 500 or 430. Right now i wouldnt buy ocz products as they just went bankrupt. Also, why do u need windows 7 ultimate??? Windows 7 home prem is enough.
