Well here is what I think:
* Case, good and not too expensive. It allows lots of upgrade path and has good cooling and comes with 2 x 120mm cooling fans :)

* CPU, possible unlock to 6 cores! Should work well for just about anything you throw at it and is priced pretty good too!

* GPU is good for the $. If you have more budget I'd go for a 6850 or even the 6870 (of coarse depending on if you have more budget $).

* Mobo, it's good, but I'd rather buy a AM3+ based mobo, so you could upgrade to Bulldozer CPU's later on. I'd also get a mobo w/at least 4 DIMM slots, so you can easily and cheaply upgrade to 8 gb's of RAM later on. I also prefer ATX sized mobo's (leaves more room for upgrades). You don't have to have an ATX sized mobo, but...

You don't have to have an ATX sized mobo, but this is just my preference.
Here is a mobo that I'd buy if I was buying today. It's AM3+, 4 RAM DIMM's, 6 x SATA 3 (6 Gb/s), 4 USB 2.0 rear ports, 2 USB 3.0 rear ports, etc.

* PSU, is a very good choice. It has 2 x 6 pin PCI-e power connectors (1 is 6+2pin), and can support higher end GPU's later if you like :)

* RAM, DVD, & HD all look good too.

If you have a budget and want some more possible tweaking to your build to get possibly some more out of your budget, just let us know. We're here to help :)
