I looked at comparable parts on PCPartPicker.com and couldn't find anything better for a lower price. So, overall, you have a nice rig coming your way :)

You could look into a case/tower that comes with a PSU. This should save you about $30, for example Cooler Master ATX cases, so there is room to trim here and there...but personally I'd stick with what you have already.

Have fun building your rig! :)
