I'm not so clued up on AMD processors and NVidia cards but I reckon that is a pretty sweet deal.

The only thing that rings alarm bells is the 300W power supply, which is incredibly low. I guess it muse be enough to support those components but don't count on putting anything else in there at a later date. I guess you could always swap it out for a bigger one easily enough if you wanted to start adding things.

And where is your RAM? It doesn't mention RAM. You need to know how much it has and what type it is.

Pretty much gonna repeat what Bilge has just said. It all looks good for the price but you will need to know the ram size and the 300W power supply isn't enough. I'm not that great with GPUs but pretty much the better it is, the higher the power supply is going to need to be able to run it and see the power supply is very low its got me a little worried about your card.
