Questionable case and terrible PSU, GPU is a rip off considering a 6850 is cheaper and better, another PSU that's of the same quality, an AMD CPU that gets crushed by an i3-2100, and a slow HDD that will probably be a boot drive.
Scrap it, all of it.

Well what is your exact budget and main purpose of this build? I can make a build that'll be a lot better performance for the $ and be reliable.

About $10 over budget but it's worth choosing a 6870 over a 6850 considering the minimal price difference. This will smoke the rig you posted in gaming performance , reliability, and the ability to do future upgrades. Although if you're able to re-use your DVD drive and HDD, you'll save quite a bit of money that you can pocket for put towards another component.

If you open task manager whilst multi-tasking ( i.e gaming and playing media ) you'll see it usually hovers around 2gb's and making anything over 4 useless and a waste of money unless you want to buy it just to buy it which a lot of people do. If a whole 500gb primary HDD isn't enough, you can grab a 1tb Seagate for $30 more if you really need it. But trust me when I say the build I listed is unbelievably better than some cheesy PSU and an FX fail CPU.
