It's kind of a strange bundle. It has a cpu that can be overclocked but a motherboard that doesn't support overclocking, and a high end PSU that is way to powerful for a very weak graphics card.

If you plan to overclock your CPU, you'll want a Z87 motherboard, not the H87 in that bundle. If not, you can get a cheaper CPU by not getting the unlocked version. Also, a 650 ti is a pretty low end card for gaming. I would pass on that bundle.
