Hey there, Im building a pc with a budget of around 500. What I plan to do with it are basic things, Browsing the web, managing my website etc. So nothing really heavy.

Few words

Compared to your build, CPU is far better,
comparison: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-A8-7600-APU-vs-Intel-Pentium-G4560/m14050vs3892
And you'll get lot more storage space. Since CPU has onboard graphics (Intel HD 610), you don't need dedicated GPU. Oh, you can remove ODD, wi-fi adapter and/or HDD if you don't need those and save from $18 to $95.
