Would appreciate advice on my tentative computer build, 800-900 $ budget.

I've decided to take the plunge and build my own sweet rig. I think I have a decent handle of what I need to do but it is quite overwhelming to survey all the possible options and extract which ones are superior to the others. Feedback would be appreciated on this current build.

Ok I like your build I am a AMD man for the most part others will chime in here for sure but as far as I see its good except your power supply you should do at least a 500 watt one do you plan to over clock or keep it standard not looking at the price your paying for the rosewill may I suggest this

FOR what I have used them in the past they have been very good and a rebate this cuts it down to 50 bucks and you don't have to worry about a cheap power supply taking your system down and the parts you worked hard for hope this helps.
