    Not really. The case, RAM and HDD are good, but there are several things I'd recommend changing:

    Yes it might seem odd, but a 520W Corsair is a much better PSU than the 750W Ultra, and is ample for powering that system.

    You already have a CD drive?

    Tiger Direct sell a lot of cheap motherboard and graphics bundles, and they're all crap, which is why I told you not to buy one.

    Again, a 750W Ultra PSU will probably go bang before 500W. Corsair units will put out what they say they will. The wattage rating on a PSU is completely irrelevant.
