TBH the combo you posted isn't too bad, other than the case, PSU and the fact it doesn't come with windows or GPU.

Aim for something such as

You can get windows for cheaper or even for free if you know where to look, you could then budget in a better GPU.

This is a pretty good build, except I would change the case. The Source 210 doesn't have front panel USB 3.0.

Get that instead.

If you don't mind working with a pain-in-the-ass case and want a front panel USB 3.0 for $5 more.

E: Maybe it's subjective, I just prefer building with the 210 over the Cougar.

Here are a couple of my personal images -
Source 210
