Is the a10 7850k good?

[_NickPowell_]

Ok. I'm new to PC building and want to start as soon as possible but don't want to build a over the top PC and it not work. So I went with a cheap but good option ($350 - $400) PC build
CPU + GPU - a10 7850k $115
*3.7 - 4.0ghz
*w/ r7 7850k(r7 280x)

MOBO - AsRock a58m $43
*FM2+ CPU socket
*RAM Max - 32gb
*DDR3 RAM

RAM - PNY Anarchy (2 x 4gb) $40
*DDR3
*2133MHz

Storage - SSD ADATA SP550 $39
*120gb SSD

Power Supply - EVGA 500w PSU $40
*500 watts
*btw some other the parts have been changed by now but pretty much the same.
The major question that I have is is the a10 7850k worth buying? All I want to do on is serf the web, watch YouTube, school work, run programs such as Google docs and photoshop, and play minor games such as:
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3??
Sonic Lost World??
Papers Please??
King's Quest
Age of Empires III??
Empire: Total War??
Team Fortress 2 ??
Minecraft
and major games like:
Skyrim
Rocket League

I want to be able to know if I can do all this and have zero lagg 99% of the time and last a long timeand be fast. Because I have a crappy laptop that takes 10mins to turn on and can barely run YouTube. I just had a really bad experience with it and don't want to make the same mistake.
*BTW probably will only use it after school and on weekends (if that matters any)
Thanks,
Nick P.

It's ok that build, but tbh this is probably better for your needs, it will also outperform what you listed:

The 750ti will chomp through any of those games you listed maxed out at 1080p(the resolution I assume you will be playing at) with no lag whatsoever, and the 6100 way outperforms the long in the tooth 7850k. The only thing not included in this are the OS and peripherals, which I assume you can scrounge up on your own. Also, you don't have to go with that case I listed, kinda just a place holder, though nonetheless a nice case. You also didn't need a 500w psu for a budget build, kinda overkill when you will be using mid tier components with no power hungry gc in sight.

Looks good but I want to ask you if there is a better option cpu (could I just use the a10 7850 with the gtx 750)?

The 7850k and the 6100 are the same price. The 6100 outperforms the 7850 in pretty much every benchmark, plus it isn't tied to a dead platform like the fm2 socket.

I found everything besides (cpu gpu os and case) for around $155, so can u help me get the best cpu and gpu or apu plus case around $400 (including the other parts)

Yes, but if you didn't order any of those parts you listed, then don't get them. That psu would be wasted, plus the one I linked is better built. The 6100 is perfect for your price point, and the 750ti is the best gaming performance gc you're gonna find for a build under $400. And you can't by definition, find everything else if you don't know what processor you will be running. RAM and a mb depend on that decision, so really you've only found a secondary storage solution. And even that one isn't the best to get for that price, don't bother getting an ssd if you have such a low budget. Stick with a hdd and then add an ssd later if you have the money.

Alright, so does that mean you will be sticking with the build I listed? I honestly think it is your best option for your budget, you won't find much better performance with any other parts. You can probably go cheaper on the case if you really wanted to save some money. But keep everything else as it is.
