No, why? Crap PSU, outdated motherboard, 4GB RAM. Here's a better deal for roughly same price:

The Corsair builder (CX) series are Channel-Well built pieces of crap, too - with the exception of the CX430, they are of poor quality.

I recommend either grabbing the CX430 (which is plenty for your system), or stick with seasonic or seasonic-built (PC Power & cooling, XFX, upper-end corsairs). Superflower-built PSU's seem to be good as well.

how about this case?

The GS Series is also built by CWT, though is of a bit higher quality than the CX. For around that price, I would recommend XFX Pro Series 450w.

Cases are mostly a matter of personal preference, there are many good cases to choose from and the Thermaltake will do just fine for you.

cheers!

I don't think Nicholas Cage & Sean Connery would show up to save your computer, though.
