PSU is complete junk, especially considering you can get a reliable brand for less money.
These are just examples:

GPU is old, and quite low end. You really want a HD 7770 or above if at all possible. If not, then look for used cards on ebay. GTX480, GTX560ti, GTX570, HD6950 and HD7850 are all going for a reasonable amount used.

RAM is low end garbage also. Get 1600 at a minimum, but for the small price difference, you really should be looking at 1866.

HDD, while not exactly bad, is kind of slow. Seagate 7200 RPM for low price boot drive, or WD black for boot drive. Blues are for storage mainly.

Case is also junk. But since it is not currently sold, I am assuming you are reusing your current one.

CPU is outdated. FX4300 at the lowest.

Yeah, bassicly all wolfeking said. You jusy need a Swagate Barracuda for a good cheap boot drive. Get a FX 4300, and 2 4 gb sticks of 1600 mhz ram for dual channel.
