Not sure about prices as you didn't list your preferred vendors. It shoudn't be that hard to come in under $700 for that parts list...

HDD - Samsung Spinpoint F3 > Seatage Barracuda

For example... Using MicroCenter the build below comes in at $370. You would have $300 left over for a case, optical drive, OS and any upgrades you see fit. I would put the left over money toward a better GPU.

MB + CPU - Asus M4A78LT-M + X4 640 => $110

MEM - 4GB OCZ DDR3 1333 => $50

PSU - Antec 650w => $90

HDD - 500GB Spinpoint F3 => $45
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0340804

GPU - 5570 => $75

All you need for that system is a 380W Antec Earthwatts PSU. The Coolermaster is an overrated piece of crap. Avoid any PSU with a little voltage switch on it; at best it indicates an inefficient, obsolete design, and at worst it means an overrated piece of crap that can be expected to damage any components attached to it when it fries.
If you're building a gamer, take a look at the $500 SBM article and the discussion following it for some good ideas. You'll need to add $100 for Windows 7.

If you are going to be gaming, you may want to go down on the CPU a little to an X3 and spend a little more on the GPU. If you're not going to be gaming, then it's fine . Also the Xigmatek should be fine for that build.

Thanks for the Input.

Although I'm not familiar with that brand, the fact that it is 80+ bronze means it was able to produce its full rated output, and do it efficiently. 80plus tests at an unrealistically low temperature, but I think you'd be well within the margin of safety; a HD5570 or HD5670 doesn't need much juice.

It has four SATA power connectors according to XIGMATEK's own User's Manual for the NRP-PC402.

Before buying, please take a look at www.directcanada.com
It has less choice than newegg.ca but it beats them at least 50$ each time I buy (it has free shipping)
