Crazy.. we posted within minutes of each other, and my build is almost identical to yours: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] k-canadian
I went for the Corsair supply, due to a recommendation from aevm, and also because it rated high on silentpcreview.com's quiet power supplies list.
I'm curious if you compared your HD to the 640GB Seagate I picked. I doubt 16MB vs 32 cache makes any difference, and I've read that the WD has faster seek times (although slightly less total throughput). I'll have to check those numbers.
Aside from that I can't offer too much I'm afraid. Chose a different case for quiet over max cooling, and picked different 4850 and RAM, likely due to different pricing here. (Although I notice you went for lower-voltage RAM rather than absolutely minimal timings.)
Anyway, looks good to me! (FWIW, not too much 
)
