couple of suggestions:

mobo, this one is better and cheaper.

the hyper 212+ is almost identical to the evo but quieter and cheaper. not a big deal though

You want a 750w psu in order to push two of those cards later on and still have a bit of headroom. Also make sure that Corsair RAM you have up there is the low profile version and not the RAM with those big cake cutter heat spreaders that look like a hair comb or your going to have problems trying to install that CM EVO.
