I just built my first computer and I want to hear some opinions about it. I got all the parts for $500, so it's not that amazing, but it gets the job done.

Case: Raidmax Super Viper
PSU: Antec Basiq 500W
CPU: AMD FX-6300 Black Edition @3.5Ghz
Mobo: ECS Elitegroup A970M-A Deluxe
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB 1866 Mhz
GPU: Radeon HD 7770
Storage: 32 GB SSD for OS and 1TB HDD

What do you think? I want to hear some feedback, whether it's positive or negative.

You should have gotten at least 64 gb ssd. I have a 64gb ssd and it's very hard for me to get space. I spent at least a few days downloading tweakers and stuff to do that. Also, if the 1866mhz 8gb ram isn't like $90 or whatever then it's okay, but just so you know you can always grab a 1600mhz ram then easily overclock it to 1866mhz. I have never heard of ECS' brand although it does sound familiar.

Why do I need a 64GB SSD? The only thing on it is Windows, everything else on the hard drive. As for the RAM, I paid $60, not very expensive. I've never heard of ECS either but it had good specs and reviews, and it seems to get the job done with no problem.

Because the OS literally takes up 20-25gb and you'll need to clean out ur temp, chrome cache etc because sometimes they can take up to 1gb, other stuff too. Just very inconvenient. My 64GB is converted into 56.4GB and I only have one game installed onto it (3gb) but I only have 25GB left on it. Most of my programs are on my harddisk too.
