Motherboard: ASUS P5Q SE/R- $135 (site labels as $145, but it's on special)

RAM: Corsair 2GB KIT TWIN2X2048-6400C4 Corsair 800Mhz -$77

Video card: MSI 9600GT 512MB ddr3, overclocking version- $123
http://www.arc.com.au/?VIDMSIPX9600GT
DVD drive- LG SATA DVD-Burner-$30
Case/PSU:

TOTAL- About $600
What do you think of these choices?
I need help picking out a case/psu. Take into account im going to get my friend over to overclock my cpu and in future, i may add something like more ram or an extra harddrive. How close am i cutting it with the 380W? Should i go quality with the antec or more power with the cooler master?
THANKS! You guys have been a great help so far!
