Why are you getting last generation stuff? Z68 instead of Z77, 2500k instead of 3570k, GTX 580 instead of GTX 670/680?

Your final price ($2362 ?!?) is "somewhat" off for this stuff, too.

95% of people don't need a soundcard, anymore. OnBoard sound is just fine.

Are you sitting in front of your 32" screen? If so, get a smaller one. If you want to see more, go for several screens over a single one. Like a triple monitor setup, which is quite some fun for gaming.

Whatever you do, don't get that overpriced 580. Ever. You can get a 680 for less than that. Hell, you could almost CrossFire two 7950s for that.

Don't get the GTX580. The newer GTX66Ti/GTX670 are far more powerful, draw less power and cost less.
Are you getting 1 or 2 graphics cards? If just the one then you can dial down the power supply to about a 600W.

Bin the soundcard. Only audiophiles can tell the difference between add-on cards and on-board these days.

RAM, 16GB. Are you video editing or something? Even todays standard of 8GB is overkill.

Monitor. Unless you're putting it in a livingroom and will be watching from a distance you're better off with a 24" screen, maybe 27" tops. I tend to find that TVs are not as capable at displaying the higher resolutions as clearly as smaller monitors e.g I get crystal clear sharp images at 1920x1080 on my 24" monitors whereas my 32" TV cannot display above 1366x768 without pixellation.

Keyboard and mouse. Have you tried them yet to see if you're happy with them? These are the main inputs you'll be using for the forseeable future and I would hate for anyone to waste a large sum of money on peripherals they don't like.

Lastly, you forgot an Operating System.
