I put together a gaming rig that I believe works well and is pretty cheap. Now I need a few people to look over it and make sure I'm not getting any conflicting parts.

Everything looks good! The only suggestion I would have is to upgrade your PSU to a 750 watt Antec, Corsair or PC Power&Cooling to allow for you to Crossfire down the road. Your PSU is good for one GPU but not for two GPU's.

Looks good, solid build.................. the AM3 770 can't crossfire.

^ Only at 16x/4x
This Asrock AM3 780G does do 8x/8x crossfire though for $90, i'm not a huge fan of crossfire though, I usually replace a GPU when it fails to perform well enough and sell it. Then get a better performing GPU.
