Also this psu is good and modular too.
Antec Earthwatts 750W Modular- $99.99/ $74.99 after mir

Do you mind posting the link for the ram?
I've been doing some reading and it looks like the ram and mobo combo i chose has problems. People have been reporting instability. Anyone can shed some light onto this?

Also, is the psu i chose still ok?

The ram is this Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C7 4GB DDR3 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 7-8-7-20 Core i5 Dual Channel Memory Kit
http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=50209&vpn=CMX4GX3M2A1600C7&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1053
You'll save $3 if link it from Newegg.ca and pricematch.
The Corsair psu is great no problems if you don't mind playing with alot of extra cables.(non-modular)All the cables are attached to the psu even ones you'll never use.
The Antec i linked will be fine and is modular which makes for better cable management and airflow in your case.
Modular design allows you to attach only the cables you need.
That Corsair is better quality but imo if your budget allows i would go for this one Corsair Professional HX750W -$149.99/$129.99 after mir
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=38649&vpn=CMPSU-750HX&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1053
$10 cheaper with promo code i have one of these and it's worth the extra money for a 7yr warranty and 80+ Gold

I would have similarly said go with the Spinpoint f3 over the caviar black to save 30. The Corsair hs750 @ 120 is a pretty great deal, especially since it is free shipping. I would have taken the 30 saved on the HD and bumped up to some ram with better timings. Yours are 9-9-9-24. There is a Ripjaw with 7-8-7-24 for like 97.

Timings have a very minimal impact on performance except for in sythetics and source games. Timings past 9 aren't a noticable (greater than 5%) impact on almost any realworld app.
