that bundle looks ok, but you will need a new psu. And with ok I mean the hardware, not the price. You might get away a lot cheaper buying the same parts seperately. Oh and as a cooler - a Scythe Shuriken fan2: 421 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 32 temp2: +51.5°C is not a bad choice. Especially since the temp never hits 60°C.
