    I suppose it really comes down to what you are needing it for and what your budget is.  For gaming the GeForce 710 video card you have is extremely low end and won't really be usable for anything but the most basic of games.

    I also wouldn't use the power supply included with a case (especially a CiT one) as they are absolute rubbish and run the risk of damaging other components.  You should always buy a PSU from a reputable brand such as Corsair, XFX, Seasonic, EVGA.etc

    If the parts you have listed are at the upper limit of your budget, you would probably be better of waiting and saving up for something better.
