16 GB RAM DDR3 3x Modules {1 Black 2 Blue slots}

AFAIK 3 RAM slots don't work in AMD motherboards, its 1,2 or 4.

That Graphics card might struggle a bit if you ever decide to go better than 1280x1024.

Is the PSU a "no name brand 550w" psu that costs less than R400? If so, that might cause issues down the line...

I wished you asked some help from [MENTION=2051]JOKER[/MENTION] before you bought it.
He can explain more in detail.

But to me you got 3 memory sticks so you pretty much null the dual channel memory channel. You would probably not see the diffrence luckly because its so much.

2x 500 GB hdd rather than one 1 tb hdd. You can easily partition the drive for storage and windows install until another special and get another one. Game had 1TB drives on specials a few months ago for R750.
Price of 500GB is about R600-800
Price of 1TB is about R800-1000
Price of 2TB is about R1100-1400

You don't know what power supply you have normaly its save to presume no name brands burn out much faster than named ones.

So what did you pay for the pc parts.

Right click Computer and select Properties. Under System, next to System Type, what does it say? Because as was mentioned, you said you have a 64bit OS but this looks like you have a 32bit OS installed.

In future rather come here and make a thread with your buy intentions, budget, what you use your PC for, etc. and let the community help you with your parts decisions. The combination of components does look really strange and you might be able to buy a better PC for the same amount of money you spent on all these components.

We are glad to help and our resident hardware guru knows all! :D

hahah and to think I wanted to make sure but never did so yes The Joker can help more than joker :D
 
3.46 is the exact amount of RAM a 32bit OS can detect, so it seems like you have 32 bit and not 64.... (like everyone up here also said)
