Ram - get a 8 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz CAS 9 1.5V and put the extra money into video card/mobo
Get this: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz CAS 9 1.5 V for much less http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=58955&vpn=CMZ4GX3M2A16...

PSU - The XFX you choose is ok, but its not modular, I would go with a better brand like Corsair AX or OCZ ZX, and if you dont plan on SLI/CF, get a good brand 650W PSU
If plan on SLI/CF : OCZ ZX 850W Gold: http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=58861&vpn=OCZ%2DZX850W...
if no SLI/CF: Corsair AX 650W Gold: http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=61488&vpn=CP%2D9020006...

CPU - i5 2500k looks fine

Cooler - fine

GPU - Depend on which game you play, GTX 570 or HD 6970 is pretty much equivalent in performance. Some games do favor 1 over the other, so make sure you know which games you play before making a decision.
Here is a reference review: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/graphics/display/radeo...

Mobo- If no SLI/CF plan: Asus Maximus IV GeneZ is fine
if SLI/CF : Asus P8Z68V-Pro/Gen 3 is a better choice over the P67 Sabertooth/Asrock
