I would consider XFX Core Pro 550W instead. They might be slightly better than that corsair at pretty much equal pricing.

That's a pretty good build, I'd only change three things:
The PSU, a bigger and better one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb...
The case, replacing it for the 400r, just $10 more but much much better: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-400r
And the motherboard, since I'd put an updated version of the one you selected: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97ler2...
