Not bad, but a cheap motherboard and I'm not sure on the reliability of the PSU.
Also the PSU seems to draw quite a lot of power. Does this not ship to Belgium? (10 EURO more, not sure about shipping, MUCH MUCH more reliable and more efficient)

http://www.gainward.com/main/support_detail.php?id=3For example, if your PSU blew fried the GPU, they won't replace it. (which is why the PSU is so important)
Couple of motherboard points:
- It is a MICRO ATX board, which means it is smaller, everything will probably be more cramped. (EDIT: looked at your case, fair enough
)
- only 2 SATA III connectors (it does have other SATA II connectors)
- only 2 USB 3.0 connectors (plenty of USB 2.0)
- no PCIe 3.0 slot (your graphics card can use up to PCIe 3.0, which is faster than PCIe 2.0)
- only 1 PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (x16 is essentially how many connectors, x16 is best, but you only have one of these slots, so you won't be able to have 2 x GPUs)
- only 2 RAM slots!!!!
Currently you are getting 2 x 4gb RAM sticks. Which means you'll have to replace them, if you want to upgrade your RAM. Which is a point to keep in mind.
The PCIe 3.0 point applies to
ALL AMD AM3+ based motherboards, none of them have it. (afaik, looked at quite a few)
And it seems intel is out of your price range, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. (PCIe 2.0 isn't much worse, shouldn't notice it)
Case wise, it doesn't seem to have much ventilation + it is a micro-ATX case -> small and cramped anyway. And looking at the cooling fan on the GPU, I don't think that will be the best either. So expect it to get HOT.
It looks like you'll need to buy a couple of 120mm fans (they don't cost much), but my french is terrible so I could be wrong
.
And you'll probably need to get a CPU cooler, as stock coolers are never good. (And I'm pretty sure your CPU will run hot). But with your case being so small, you can't have a huge CPU cooler anyway, as they stick out to the side quite a bit.

.
All in all, a reasonable budget PC (though not much room for upgrading, replacements are possible, but the only addition possible that I can think of would be a SSD),
though I would check those warranties! (don't want it exploding in your face :O and not being able to send it back)
And just checking:
- no CD/DVD drive?
- You already have a monitor?
- keyboard + mouse?
EDIT:
Another question i got, is it possible to install Win7 without a CD? meaning i can use a USB or external drive to do it?
