Not a good PSU choice, and that is not much of a graphics card. With your budget, you can do far better, than that.

A lot of odd choices considering that at 1500 you could have a way better computer than this. Swapped out a good number of components, chiefly the massively underpowered GTX750Ti, the poor quality PSU etc, and added an actual SSD, better CPU Cooler, more reasonably priced motherboard, and the best graphics card currently on the market (I'd wait a little bit for the non founders cards to arrive since they'll look a lot better and more than likely have better cooling solutions)
