Supercombos can ALWAYS be trumped with individual configs. That, for one, tries to incorporate a HAF 912 into a $260 budget!? In my eyes it is immediately terrible.
Get an FM2-based build for the same price.

Dont use a dead socket. Use FM2 so you have an upgrade path

Do not use ram that is under 1600mhz when using the apus IGPU. it bottle necks the crap out of it.

Do not trust that HDD. try to stay to WD or Seagate

^ Given the usage I would take the above and make these downgrades/changes to better meet the needs and meet the budget:
2x2GB memory is fine (-$14)
Small form factor case/PSU (-$21)
Cheaper DVD drive (-$8.34)
A8 (-$20)
HDD at NCIX (+/-$0, reduces retailer dependence)
It is now perfect

Ncix isn't loading, so I can't see what parts you have chosen, but I've pricematched you and put it into a pcpartpicker list. Thanks for the price cut recommendations thumb.gif.
Edit: Didn't think a single channel will cause a severe bottleneck, or atleast one that was noticeable by an average user.
