I am building my gaming PC and need suggestions if my selections are correct or not. Though I said I am building a gaming PC, I am not a very serious gamer but a more of an average gamer. I don't play high end games like Crysis etc. but do play games like, Need for speed, Battlefield, etc. I am building this PC within my budget of 25000 rupees( I am from India). Having said my budget I had selected the following components:
Motherboard: Asus FM2-F2A85M-LE
Processor: FM2 A4-5300
RAM: Corsair Vengance 4GB CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9
SSD: Kingston V+200 60 GB SSD (as a boot drive)

I know many people will not call this a gaming PC as this may be a slightly above budget PC. Apart from gaming the things which I need are SATA III ports (the board should have atleast 4 ports) and USB 3.0

Note: 1) Please suggest if my combination is correct or an overkill for my requirements. If this is an overkill please do suggest me a good combination.(AMD platform and within my budget please)

2) I thought of going for a OCZ or Samsung SSD, but they are very expensive here. So I am left with only Kingston.

3) I am upgrading to windows 8 64 bit in a few weeks. So the board should support windows 8 64bit and I need it future proof for atleast 4 years. 4 years may be very long but my next upgrade will be only after 4 years.

Please let me know your opinions. Thanks to all in advance.

My only suggestion would be to get the best APU you can afford since you will be using the on-die GPU for gaming. The GPU is the most important item in gaming, followed closely by the CPU. If you can afford the A10-5700K or 5800K, go for it.
