Even a 450W is enough for almost any single GPU on a lower power chip like an i3.

@Someone Somewhere
thanks for a quick response! Indeed PSU is overkill and HDD... it will be for my future build(ASUS z87 Pro and 4670K)
i'll give this build to my mom with lower PSU and HDD once i'm ready for upgrade...

@Ahmadjon
thanks i'm considering a SDD boot drive too...

I read a good review for the board, I was hoping the APU would do ok for light gaming with plenty of options then for upgrading in areas like a midrange gpu to improve gaming performance later. I'm still reading into it. Fascinated. Thanks for the feedback.
