Case is terrible.

Low end board with zero features and no upgrade path.

PSU is junk.

X3 445 over a similarly priced and superior i3-2100 is just ridiculous.

Video card that won't play anything and is on par with Intel's HD 4000 IGP.

It's presumably pre-built and therefore complete and utter crap.

That's hardly advice, is it?

Please tell me how that is not advice.

I suggested him that the parts he has currently selected are simply crap in which they are and recommended superior alternative recommendations.

What a dumb comment.

I am always honest and straight forward. I am not the type of person to sugarcoat everything and not get straight to the point at the start. Sometimes people get frustrated with this because they tend to follow people who tell them whatever they want to hear regardless of whether or not it's the truth. It's a sad world we live in. If you don't like me and don't want to take my legitimate advice, don't...OP, it's your loss. It's your money and your final decision - I am simply trying to save you from making a horrible decision. Someone on an internet forum can only help and go so far.

Molex connector is useless unless you want the already underpowered and loud Intel fan to spin even louder at 100% 24/7. Ditch it.

HAF 912 Antec One / Shinobi / Zalman Z9 are all better than the Antec 300. No features, cable management, and inferior construction.

Corsair Vengeance RAM is standard RAM with cheesy heatsinks that do nothing but cause chaos when trying to add after-marketing cooling in which you should because it's a 2500k. Grab a low profile kit of whatever you want as long as it's 1.5v or lower.

H61/G67/H77 don't allow for overclocking - P67/Z68/Z77 do. Grab a MSI Z77 G43. Best bang for your buck board out.

Can find an XfX 7950 for $20 less.

Not a great deal on that specific Corsair unit.
