Thoughts:
- Yikes, that power supply. Budget for a replacement if you're going to buy this.
- 1600mhz ram for an APU is a bit slow, 1866 / 2133 / 2400mhz is better.

It should suffice though.

Yeah the HDDs are a ah heck to mount in this case, but as it's pre-owned someone else would have already done the hard work on this :D

You're also limited to 270mm GPU length should you choose to go dedicated later on.

[strike]Yeah, looks like a nice cheap buy, but if you're going to use it for lightweight/old/retro games, you can save the money off a couple things IMO:

- Ditch the aftermarket cooler and use the stock one, or if you really want an aftermarket one, get a very basic one, as you're probably not going to do any OC on it.
- 8gb 1600mhz ram seem a bit overkill for your objective. If the mobo supports them, I'd get 1333 and stop at 4gb.
- A 600w is also overkill for an integrated gpu system, provided I recall correctly, but it's an economical PSU, so no wonder... Up to you here, as you may actually spend more than save, but I'd get a good 80+ bronze PSU to feed the entire system and have a 100w headroom at least.[/strike]

Nevermind, I forgot I had this open for like more than half an hour. Too much answers to consider mine even useful anymore :D
