You could refer to my 800-1000$ build that should fit just nicely. You should read my reasoning for each part, It'll shed some light on why I think you shouldn't get some things. IE the WD Black.

As for GPU, it's mentioned as well. At that resolution, you'll struggle to play with a 6850. Go for the 6950 1GB, 6870 1GB, or even the 560 Ti.

The parts list looks good but after looking at the build site most of the parts are from Amazon. Which is all good but the OP may find some better prices at Newegg.
Just from the quick look your write up had the correct prices but the links for the Ti560 was $304 and they are really around $250.00.
Both sites have good prices on different things depends on what kind of deal you can get on shipping I guess.
Nice write up though.
