Get the 64mb cache version of the HDD if you can (it has the newer platters)

your psu is a little too high. but the rest is ok.

Only thing I would do is upgrade that 7870 to a 7870XT - you'd be an absolute FOOL not to. It's only $5 more and beats the SNOT out of the 7870.

It's actually cheaper than the 7870 you chose
