You can get way better than that for your budget. Corsair Force SSDs are not that great, there's far better that you could go with. The liquid cooler is mediocre at best, the SSD is not good at all, and there's way better peripherals you could go with. Too much Corsair - not everything they make is worthy of the name, some stuff they make is great, others not so much. Just like every brand. This is what you should be getting on your budget:

- Way better liquid cooler
- Better case
- Seasonic power supply
- Dual GTX 780 as opposed to a single GTX 780TI
- Windows 8.1 license
- Better SSD than Corsair Force
- Faster RAM will yield a higher overclock with Haswell

Then with the difference add whatever monitor keyboard and mouse you want.
