Hi there. I am looking at purchasing a new (BUDGET) computer system for gaming and I think I've found the one, what do you guys think of this one:
COUGAR Solution Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 12cm COUGAR TURBINE HYPER-SPIN Bearing Silent Fan and USB 3.0 (Model:Solution)
ASUS F2A85-M PRO FM2 AMD A85X (Hudson D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard (Model:F2A85-M PRO)
Rosewill Stallion Series RD600 600W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply (Model:RD600)
AMD A10-6800K Richland 4.1GHz (4.4GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop Processor - Black Edition AMD Radeon HD 8670D (Model:AD680KWOHLBOX)
CORSAIR XMS 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M1A1600C11 (Model:CMX8GX3M1A1600C11)
Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (Model:WD10EZEX)
LG 24X DVD Burner - Bare Drive Black SATA Model GH24NS95 (Model:GH24NS95)

It is currently $441.99 not including $50 in rebates, which is an amazing price. It will be my first "real" build (I've built one at school before, that's it). I have checked out all of the individual components and all have really great reviews except maayyyybe the PSU.
I'm not even going to bother getting a dedicated video card, because by the sounds of the reviews, the CPU's integrated Radeon HD 8670D will run most modern games which sounds odd but that's what most of the feedback seemed to be focused on. Skyrim is basically the very height of my aspirations, no FPS or anything like that (except Fallout 3 but that's ancient) so it should do really well I hope.
So, I'm pretty excited about this system, what do you guys think? Also, if I DO get it, do I need anything else for a successful build? I'm thinking of getting some Arctic Silver thermal paste (regardless if the CPU comes with paste or not). I already have a computer toolkit with all the tools I'll need, including an ESD strap. I also have a disk with a Windows 7 ISO and an activation key laying around somewhere...
Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to this stuff. So long story short, does this kit sound good (as in bang for buck), and if so, what will I need to ensure a successful build? Thank you very much.
