Maybe look for a cheaper dvd drive, 49 is double what you should be paying.

Ditch that power supply, get something like a 750W Silverstone. Frees up some money for a 120GB SSD or a HD7970 if you can wait a day or two.

Case is ugly
PSU is shit
Motherboard is okay, but its amd
CPU is really crap
RAM is stupidly expensive
GPU isn't as good as a 570
HDD is okay
SSD is okay, should get a crucial imo
DVD is IDE instead of SATA - big fail
Cooler is stupidly expensive

You can do much better for 2000 dollars, MUCH better.

You could drop the second 570 and get a good sound card and windows instead.
