Do you think this build is perfect or do you think it's slight overkill for me as I'll only be playing runescape/surfing web/ downloading torrents. I want it to do all that and be futureproof at same time.

Also does anyone know if the PSU comes with all the cables I'd need to use ?

Looks ok and is all compatible etc.

But you say this,
I want it to do all that and be futureproof at same time.

I dont know what other cpus are due for this unique socket type, but you can add a discrete GPU (6670 etc) and crossfire with the built in graphics to get a good performance increase.

I was under the impression that they now had a HD version with AA and the like, not sure if a 7 year old low end machine could run that from inside a browser tbh.



The pc the OP has speced however should be more than adequate
 
Ahhh runescape...those were the days...

^ non mems get HD too just that they cant go full screen

edit: How about getting a mouse like the g500, you can assign camera controls to it as well as quick shortcuts like inventory access. I remember it being a massive help to me

What's it like these days? I used to stop and start every now and then (Usually Christmas time when I had nothing to do or play) but then stopped when the only friend I have who played it quit :(.
