The only part that seems really out of place is the 4670 (quite weak for gaming), definitely go for a 5770 or better.

Edit: here's some options depending on your budget

The most important change I would recommend would be to drop the Phenom II 965 in favor of a Phenom II 955 or 945. They perform identically to the 965 if you give them just a tiny overclock. Newegg has combo deals with the same motherboard in your list.

Then use the money you save to get a better graphics card. Recommend shooting for a 4870 if you can; The 512mb versions should be in reach.

Everything else on your list looks good. I was going to say something about the power supply being overkill until I clicked the link and saw what a massive deal it was. I might grab one of those up for my next build...

And some minor modifications:

I would just go with Home
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders

and this HDD is better
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal

as is this HSF

and it wouldn't hurt to drop down to a 955 and just up the multiplier one
