Old guy needs opinions of my first build

It's been a while since I built a machine but It is up and running no issues *pat on the back*. I can return anything for 30 days so I would like to get some input on my configuration. If there is anything not paired up optimally like maybe my video card is overkill compared to the MoBo and APU. I'd appreciate the input to consider any changes.

To help your evaluation I need a home computer to do the typical Internet and office type of work that can game on occasion or work on my 3D models from Revit.

Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3HP FM2+ ATX AMD Motherboard with USB Type-C
AMD A10-7860K Godavari 3.6 GHz 4 Core FM2+ Processor with Radeon R7 Graphics
Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x8GB (16GB) DDR3-1600
ASUS Radeon RX 460 ROG STRIX Overclocked 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Toshiba P300 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA III 6Gb/s 3.5" Desktop Internal Hard Drive - HDWD110X
Solid Gear Neutron Series 650 Watt PS2 ATX Power Supply

and I thank you for your support!

All looks good there, but one thing I would recommend is getting a little SSD to use as your boot drive. Something like a 120GB would be great because you can put Windows on it, and your most used programs. It makes the world of difference to your day to day usage of the system.
