I'm not in the mood to try and piece together a whole package deal and see if that's actually a decent deal.

I'd see if there are any reviews on HardOCP or JonnyGuru of that power supply. Cooler Master is hit or miss on power supplies, some shine, some not so hot.

The GTS250 is a little sad, considering it's an overclocked G92 core 8800GT card from 2007. We're talking 3 year hardware. Still fairly capable, and in SLI should be pretty potent. But for a new system these days, and the kind of money that's worth. I'd personally opt for a DX11 class card, HD 5770-5850 ish. If performance/price work out about right. But I'll leave you to check those details.

I agree with Menelmarar.

If you're near a MC, not such a good deal. Quick math off the top of my head, you should be able to build a similar system with a single HD5850 instead for around $1120. So, again, if you're near a MC, not really a deal for this combo.
