i Would just like to know if these components are all compatible with eachother and im just not overlooking anythink, and BTW i do have a 60 gb ssd and 500 GB HDD laying around that ill throw in here, and this may be a stupid question to ask but since this is a top mounted PSU, should i leave the PSU mounted upside down so that the fan is not being blocked by the case, please and and thanks for answering my question :)

A psu can be mounted either way.
I would mount it so that the fan faces the inside of the case and is not blocked.

I love ssd's for the "C" drive. But be advised that many things need to go on the "C" drive and it will fill up quickly. Even 120gb is small.
When a ssd reaches 90% full, it will slow down and lose endurance(wear out)

Lastly, I am not much in favor of the amd apu's unless that is all you ever want to use.
They are good for what they do, particularly graphics.
But, good upgrade options are not there.
