The psu may be a bit overkill. You could've gotten away with something along the lines of the antec earthwatt 500W. However, it's hard to critique a build like that, nice choices.

It looks very good, but not finished. I'm going to assume your in the US.

I suggest you pick up this ram, its currently the best deal on newegg for DDR3.

HDD: This one is very fast, and very reliable. If you don't need 1TB then go for the WD6401AALS.

OS: not sure if you got one or not, but if you dont pick this up. If you do, make sure its 64 bit!

You need a CPU cooler so you can overclock that bad boy and realize the i7's full potential. My suggestion:
