There are a few other RAM sets you could save $5-$10 on, or else jump to DDR31600 near your current price.

Upgrading to a i5760 (If it's back in stock when you order)

I would look at a 5450 video card, or else, whatever newegg has on cyber monday for ~$20, the 5770 looks pretty overkill for your use.

^ Why not try the AMD's 6-Core CPUs ??

Here is a build based on that...
1055T + Gigabyte 870A

RAM -
More the better for PS
Mushkin 8GB DDR3

CM 690

PSU - Right now a very good deal

Video card - Get the one with CUDA as the CS5 takes good advantage of it, also the GTS 450 would suffice IMO
PNY VCGGTS4501XPB GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133343

HDD, DVD - Same...
Total - ~$684 | ~$599
If you could get this, then it would be a very good addition to the build -
OCZ SSD
