This PSU will be enough for you, buy it in the combo:

Cheaper and faster GPU:

Do you really need the G7? I use this mouse and I am very pleased with it

This is better ram for the same price, cheaper after you get the $20 rebate:

Buy the motherboard here:

That is a very nice monitor, but on the pricier end of the spectrum, Asus monitors are more affordable and get great reviews:
