I think it's a good build as is.
Corsair 650TX would be a great match... more power than you need, but that just gives you some longevity and ensures it will run cool and quiet for years to come:

The Case is OK, but for the money the Antec 300 is better:

If you want to save a little, the Antec 650W that comes in a combo deal with the case is NOT as good as the Corsair, but it IS adequate.
The WD 500 AAJS is not a great choice for speed. The 640 AAKS would be a better choice if you can swing it.
Your CPU is fine. Adequate speeds in non-multithreaded games and programs and a screamer in places that can use the extra cores. Yes you will not use the extra cores much today, but that is the direction things are going. Next gen Intel will have even more cores 
don't forget the thermal paste.
