Whatever you choose get a P55 mobo preferably from Gigabyte or Asus.
No worries.

A few recommendations (if you can change/specify them):

Motherboard of choice - ASUS P7P55D-E Pro.

PSU - 800 W is way overkill for an HD 5670, a 550W would be more than enough to power two. Best yet, upgrade that GPU to an HD 5770 or better, and 550W is still enough for two HD 5770s in CrossFireX.

HDD - Best to get a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB or WD Caviar Black WD1002FAEX (SATA III) 1 TB HDD.

Otherwise it looks good - do you really need that network card though?

Depends on how much you're spending on this computer.
