EDIT: Lolz dint notice that you had an OS...So you can leave out the WD in the list, thereby saving money for the OS...

^ Well I just missed out the OS...So adding that would drive the overall budget up...
So maybe you can drop down to HD 5850 - which is said to perform as good as or even better than the GTX 285... and thus having enough for the OS too...
