Raidmax PSUs are junk. You want to go with something like Antec, Corsair, FSP, OCZ, and some others. Here's a good thread. Generally, built-in PSUs are bad because lower quality manufacturers use them, but Antec has a few cases with PSU and they are fine, just make sure you get a good brand.

Don't forget a video card.
And that hard drrive is deactivated. Get an oem drive and save money.

I would also consider a different brand of DVDRW. Lite-On or LG would be a better choice.
