On the surface that seems good.
It would help if you had links to these products. Your biggest savings will come through combo deals and free shipping.
What e-tailer are you planning on using?
A GTX670 is the best bang for your buck out there right now however it may be a bit overkill for a 21.5 inch monitor. What resolution is the monitor? The second best bang for your buck is the HD 7850 which comes in at $250. That could trim $150 off your budget.
You never want to skimp on your Power Supply however 850 Watts seems like a bit much for a GTX 670. You could probably save some money there too going with a lower wattage model. Say like 700 watts or maybe even 650 Watts.

The list (with links) is posted again below. I prefer to use Newegg and Amazon and did not see any combo deals for the particular things I am looking for.
The monitor is a 1920x1080 monitor that I already have. I plan on upgrading soon to a 24 or 27 I think.
The PSU is mostly because I also plan on eventually grabbing a second GPU and running them SLI. I guess it would also be good to mention that too in case that is not possible with what I have selected.
Let me know if there are any other pieces of information that I forgot to mention.
