Everything looks mostly fine to me. I wouldn't bother with the DVD writer myself. Also it would be worth getting an aftermarket CPU cooler (e.g. the Cooler Master Hyper coolers are all good, but anything beats the crappy loud and hot Intel stock cooler). Maybe get a 256GB SSD if you can swing it since that is probably where you install apps/games (120GB is really just too small nowadays e.g. Doom and GTA V take up 60GB each).

It's a friend for my pc. The SSD is only for booting up the pc, everything else just goes to the HDD. What about the PSU? Is it good?

Yeah but installing to SSD makes everything so load much faster. I only use the HDD for bulk storage (e.g. photos, videos, archives/downloads, backup etc). The PSU will be sufficient for sure - not too sure about the quality of that particular model though. I usually consult this list for PSU selection: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html and stick to Tier 1 and 2 only.

I would get a modular or semi modular PSU. I learned my lesson the hard way, having extra cables floating around in the case sucks. My fav PSU brands are EVGA and Corsair, but anything Seasonic based is great.

Unless you really play multiple games every day, you can get by with a 120gb SSD. All you need on it are OS, main programs, and the one game you are playing every day. Everything else can go on the hard drive. Plus, read up on guides regarding deleting old OS installs and such, to keep the SSD as clear as possible. When you feel like getting into a new game, move the other to the hard drive and install the new one on the SSD.

On a MCPC, for example, or maybe an office PC I'd be all with you. But when CURRENT games (Doom and GTA V) take up 60GB by themselves, and upcoming games like Star Citizen are going to require 100GB+, I just don't think 120GB cuts it in 2017. Definitely depends on how you plan to use your PC though.
