Looks good. I saw a few days ago that Microcenter had the Extreme3 Gen3 in stock. Too bad they took it down. You could also consider the HAF 912.

Nice build. It's worth noting that you could wait for an Ivy Bridge CPU that would come out in the next few weeks, but it's not that big of a deal. It might add a few percent more performance but nothing huge.
