The Corsair CX line-up isn't very good. The only Corsair CX I would recommend is the semi-modular ones that uses japanese capicators.
Here's a much higher quality psu: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

Also, whats with the motherboard and cpu? You're using an old Sandy Bridge locked i3 (dual cores WILL bottleneck the 660) with a Z77 chipset motherboard that's used for overclocking.
You can probably get a better processor for the price.
Also the case isn't very high quality. You can also get a better case for the price.
The HDD link is broken.
