Looks OK.

I'd get a GTX 460 instead of that 550 Ti though, same price, but more powerful. Also, that power supply is pretty cheap - maybe look at a Corsair Builder model or something...

Like I mentioned in my first post, I'd definitely get something by Corsair if I were you. A 500w one is plenty as long as it is a good brand. That Coolmax one is really sketchy.
