Solid build, don't forget a copy of Vista Home Premium 64-bit for the 4GB of RAM. Some good sales on the 900 can be found this weekend, I prefer the Coolermaster 690 as it's usually cheaper for the same case basically. Stick a couple 120mm Scythe fluid bearing fans in either one for added airflow with long life expectancy and quiety goodness.

If you're overclocking you should grab an aftermarket heatsink, preferably a Direct Touch design such as Xigmatek's, Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer, or OCZ's Vendetta 2.

I was all ready ordering the parts to build almost the exact same computer you are. I was already going to use the NZXT Tempest Mid tower case. The only difference is that I am going to use the 260 core 216 instead of the 4870 ati card which I think is better.

i think im going with the NZXT tempest.

im goign to take a 'try' at the cable management holes. will i need any extenders with the MOBO im getting and that PSU?
