Not bad, but you could do better. The cooler master PSU may or may not be one of thier junk units, Im guessing junk since it appears they didn't send any out for review, so I'd go with a known good manufacture and unit. The GTX 760 is faster and only $12, with those and a couple other changes its about the same price.
