More about : build lemme overclocking
Aside from the powersupply everything looks okey.
I would get a Corsair VX 450W but it's a lot more expensive.
The motherboard is a strange choice. Any particular reason you picked it?
$75 alternative

You could get a 8800GTS for $180

I would drop the IDE burners and get two different SATA drives.
I would also go for 4GB (2x2GB sticks) DDR2 800MHz RAM.
Since you won't overclock you don't need 1066MHz.

Enjoy your build.

Two DVD burners?
How about one less DVD burner and a better PSU?
And a little less expensive RAM (Corsair XMS $29 after $25 rebate) and a little more for the motherboard Asus P5K SE $93
That should give you a better balanced system with a better PSU.
While I like the CM RC-590 case a lot it looks like its a big chunk of your budget.
This Antec NSK6580 case and 430W Earthwatts PSU $60 after $40 rebate might make more sense.

Second everything Andrius said, especially the 8800 GTS 512.
Look at the specs. It has better cooling, (2 slot card, exhausts hot air out the back of your case instead of inside it) and more stream processors... if you like to crank up the eye candy they will get you about 10-15% more frames per second than a GT.
