60g ssd are to small for a os and aps. you need to leave some room on a ssd for it to run trim and drive clean up funtions and wear leveling or the ssd will run slow. used the ssd money for a larger stock hard drive. used a newer gaming case that was a little cheaper and use that to put in a larger power supply. with the larger unit you can add a faster gpu latter on without tossing the under sized power supply in your gaming rig.

Personally I would suggest a CPU + GPU over APU's. But that's just me.
