You'd better check to make sure - the 570 requires a minimum of a 600W PSU and you need to be sure that its' certified and rated at least 80+ bronze or better.

As great as this card is you should really take a good look at the 7950 and 7970 - both cards are currently owning 3-D Mark records and they will continue to for quite a while.

Otherwise the build looks pretty good.
