We don't yet have enough information to tell him that.

What is the make/model of your PSU? The amps on the +12v rail matter more than the total wattage when determining whether your PSU can support that system.

It will easily run all of that, but what about your graphics card? If you have a powered one, it may require more power, but yes, that's a pretty important piece of info left out. Cool case, by the way.
