Your PSU is trash. Spend money where it counts. Buy a reliable Antec or Corsair PSU.
Also your case only has USB 2.0 ports. Spend a bit more and get a better case.

Thank you for the tips, I will look into upgrading the PSU & getting a better case.

The reviews say it's a very bad PSU. The last thing you want is a power surge that fries all your parts.

+1 For having a solid PSU.
As you're in the UK, check out Novatech. They do a good PSU that's served me well for a year or two.

Thanks Lux for the PSU it's a little over budget but it should do fine for what I need.

I came up with this, slightly over budget including the Xbox 360 controller coming to £582.00 + You'd need to then get the M+KB combo bringing you to about £600. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/KxmGD3
Here's a notable site for you, it's not perfect but it is pretty good:

This is what it came up with for a £500 budget in the UK, not including Windows (seriously, if you're on a budget just pirate it.):

If you insist on buying Windows legit though, here's what it suggests:
