That looks good.

Upgrade that HDD to a Western Digital 640 GB HDD for better performance at just a little more $$$

The rest looks great. Good luck with the build.
 
Another +1 for the 640GB drive upgrade. Here's some links for you:

I also don't think that retention bracket is compatible with that cooler. The retention bracket says it's for 4 heatpipe coolers only. The cooler you chose has 3 heatpipes. This is the bracket for that cooler, but it's been out of stock for a while:
