The build you put together isn't terrible, I just personally think its quite a bit lop-sided and I generally don't like buying things used and such.

 

I obviously know you cant buy the parts from the link I provided, but you can look around on the etailer of your choice for the models I have listed.

What exactly are you concerned about?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Make sure you quote people if you want them to respond.  If I hadn't gone to eat supper (and not move the webpage) I would have never seen the reply.

 

Also, your RAM isn't on the QVL list for that motherboard.  That might not be a problem, but if its not on the QVL list then the RAM and motherboard are NOT guaranteed to work together 100%.

 

Also, I personally would like to see you get a NEW storage device.  Used storage is just generally a bad idea.  Go ahead and sacrifice capacity, speed, anything...  Just get your storage NEW!

 

Also, I don't like the idea of the video card.  I (personally) would opt for a better motherboard and CPU right now, and just for-go the video card all together.

 

And while I am, typically, not someone to yell about "omg that's a awful PSU", in this case you legitimately don't know anything about the PSU.  It is probably garbage.

 

Overall, I'd give this build a 4/10.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Here is a wishlist of new parts that I put together.  I personally would feel much better with this build.

About the drive i found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-WD-500GB-SATA-3-5-HDD-Hard-Drive-16MB-Cache-WD5000AAKX-/261825913924?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cf60a6444 which makes me fit into the budged and i will probably give it another Graphics card instead of the used one :D

My biggest concern is I think you should get a much better motherboard, case, and power supply.  Those things are worth sinking some money on.

I think you should look for a SSD, platter based HDD are just not great for anything other than mass storage outside of the case.
