First post so Hello.

I'm hoping to get some views on what Ive already assembled.

Its for basic internet use/movies/music, NO video editing or seriously hard gaming. I was wondering if anything is a serious bottleneck or bad combo.

I suppose I'd like a confirmation that this meets a "low end gaming rig" status or whatever it qualifies as being.

Heres the build.

APU: AMD A8-6600K @ 3.9GHz (Quad) (4.2GHz Turbo)
APU/GPU: HD 8570D @ 844Mhz
Mobo: MSI FM2-A55M-E33 uATX
RAM: Crucial (2x4GB) 1866Mhz Ballistix 9-9-9-27 1T Dual Channel
HDD: 1TB 7200RPM SATA
Disk Drive: CD / DVD-RW Dual Layer Optical
PSU: 500W (Unknown)
OS: Win 7 Home Premium x64
Monitor: LG 22" IPS 1920x1080P 60Hz

All I can say about the power supply is that it came with the case and I can't see the logo, its stable, no burning smell, has giant fan....

Is this decent for HD movies and such? Maybe the odd game?

Thanks

Hello and Welcome to the Forun

Build looks good. The only change i would make is the PSU. Get a corsair cx 430 as unbranded/cheap units are hazards and a disaster waiting to happen.

If you've not purchased a build already, maybe look at getting an A85x orA75 board. Otherwise, you'll be fine.
