it's good but you can probably get a better power supply such as xfx 550w

My Old Rig: Phenom II X4 965 4.0 ghz, Asus Motherboard, 4 GB DDR3-1333, Antec Case and PSU, no video card atm

My New Rig: i5-4590, MSI Motherboard, 8 GB DDR3-1600, Corsair Case, XFX PSU, HD 7950

Single fan AIO's are shite. Get a 212 EVO.

 

Replace that Corsair PSU with something like an EVGA 650w Gold, or a Seasonic ~500W unit.

 

Aside from that, it's alright as a whole. Also, that mobo could be replaced with a cheaper alternative, that offers the same kind of performance. And i changed to a newer SSD.

I have heard that SSD is not good, some are and some are not. Depends where the individual one was manufactured. I would spend a little extra on a Samsung 850 evo.

 

Also, the power supply is a bit overkill, a CX 500 would be plenty, so the money you save on the PSU you can get the Samsung SSD.

I agree, the single 120 rad AIO coolers are not that great... a 212 Evo would perform almost as well for half the price. If you do want watercooling, look into a dual 120 radiator version
