Rate my first Gaming rig.

Good but 3 points:
1) that processor is 100 dollars cheaper at micro center
2) change the case (it's dated). it doesn't have USB 3s I think.
3) get a CPU cooler like the cooler master 212 plus. the Intel stock cooler sucks if you run heavy apps.
Also check this site out for easier pricing.

[quote name='Saven']I already bought the rig, I liked the case for the price but it was dated.
Maybe in the future I can change the case to a better (& sexier) one.
The processor was $50 cheaper than the price on the picture, the picture is old.
Thank you![/QUOTE]
Save 50 dollars more on processor at microcenter and you got yourself a better case or money to pull in a ssd
but nonetheless good job
Places like Fry's will match micro

Great except I would have recommended a Seagate Barracuda over a WD Black. As for the 360 receiver, don't use whatever software that comes with it. Install it as an official 360 wireless receiver for best compatibility.
[quote name='Saven']I'll keep that in mind when choosing to upgrade, thank you.
I have the OS on the 1TB, I think I shall pick up a SSD when I get the chance.
Is it a big upgrade? In terms of speeds.[/QUOTE]
if you pick one up later, don't worry about it. ssd caching (os on the hdd) won't give you faster boot times but only faster reads (ie: running apps). if you have the funds now, i do highly recommend getting a sdd and putting the os on there because if you decide to do it later, it requires a full install and restart of the current os setup. it is a big increase in speed. just youtube boot times between hdds and ssds or go to a retailer and restart a computer with a sdd and do the same with that of one with a hdd.
