Ok - I've got quite a few changes for you.

CPU: E6750 @ 2.66Ghz ($189)
Better price vs. performance when compared to the overpriced E6850.

GPU: 8800GT 512MB (~$279) or 8800GTS 512MB (~$359)
The 8800GTS is an older card that is way over-priced when compared to the newer G92 cards (the ones I listed above). Either the GT or GTS 512 would be a good choice for you. Not the GTS 640 or 320MB!

Mobo: Your choice is fine here, but you can save a few $ if you go with the P35-DS3L. (Doesn't have IEEE 1394 / firewire)

PSU: The PSU is very good, but if you don't need / want to SLI, you could go with something smaller, like the Corsair 520HX.

Everything else is fine. (I've had a few bad experiences with LG burners, but others say they work great)
