You'll never be able to use dual card setups. There's only one PCI-e x16 slot available, and the power supply doesn't seem to be of that great quality. I personally think the CPU & RAM is overkill. If you build a system yourself (or let people here help you), you'd be better off for the same price.

Aerocool PSU is usually bad news.

The CPU and RAM is overkill for the rest of the system. The CPU is one of the best currently available, and the amount of RAM will be enough for more than a couple of years. Combined with that, you get a low quality power supply and a borderline low end motherboard. The system is unbalanced.

So your saying I wouldn't get the best performance of the pc? I think the motherboard is perfect it is one of the latest gigabyte motherboard and the psu is fine I think I had a pc with 500 wats my pc was on 247 for 5 years without turning on I did gaming on it too and the psu was £15 and not even branded and in the future I would upgrade to a gtx 780ftw

Well, it's your choice. Consider yourself lucky that the £15 500W brandless PSU didn't catch fire on you. I personally would not go for it.

The system will have great performance. I simply don't know how long it will last. I have concerns with the motherboard and PSU. I find durability important.

In terms of power the system is definitely not lacking, and gaming should be no problem, provided you indeed put a good GPU in it. Be sure to check that opening the case doesn't void your warranty. And uh.. If you get a chance in the future, change that PSU. Especially if you see low voltages or are experiencing unexpected shutdowns.
