Seems "decent" depending on what you want to play and at what quality.

If you can modify stuff, change that HDD to a WD one, Seagates die while my 7 years old "slow" WD green is still up and running and has pretty sweet speeds. Unless you're okay with losing data or reinstalling stuff.

Secondly a stronger PSU and modular, wouldn't hurt, since you may not change that for 10 years or so, unless they radically change GPU/CPU consumptions. So get like a EVGA 750W gold or higher (I like EVGA and got my PSU from them).

+ what everyone else said, get dual channel RAM and higher speed since AMD is stupid.

Commendable
1: Make sure you are running 2 sticks of ram. (2 x 4 gig sticks = 8gb). Only 1 stick is going to hurt the systems performance.

2: if you didn't buy it yet, also get something faster than 2400 speed (2933 or up to 3200) AMD systems suffer performance loss with slower ram.

What games do you plan on playing?
