It's been a few years since I've messed around with building a PC and I'm really not as up to date on hardware as I would like so I figured I'd get some opinions on the components I'm considering...

Looking to build a basic general use computer which will mostly just be used for surfing, docs/excel, & music. There probably won't be any gaming done on the machine and if a game does get played it won't be anything too intensive for the system.

As for components:

APU: AMD A-8 3870K (this chip fascinates me and sounds ideal for a general purpose PC)
MOBO: ASUS F1A75-M FM1 AMD A75
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series (2x4GB) DDR3 1866
Boot Drive: Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 60GB SATA III SSD
PSU: Antex EartWatts Green EA-380D
2nd HDD : Seagate Barracuda Green 1.5TB 5900 RPM SATA drive
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Case: Cooler Master Elite 311 or Antec Three Hundred Mid Tower

I don't plan to OC the APU or add another graphics card so will the 380W PSU be enough? Based on what I remember it should be fine with components with plenty to spare for other odds and ends type peripherals...

Thanks in advance, Jim
