Do you need an optical drive?
If so just grab a $20 off newegg. Doesn't matter long as it's SATA.

Don't bother with the H50. A much cheaper CM Hyper 212 Plus will work fine.

$30 at amazon

Do you know what CUDA is? Does your software benefit from it?

If yes drop the Corsair PSU and grab this GTX 470 and PSU combo.

If no, grab a 5850.

Rest looks fine.
