Looks good to me get a better GPU though 6870 is a weak card i would recommend nothing less than a 7870 although a GTX 670 would be better downgrading your PSU is never a good idea it's always better to get more than you need for breathing room and somewhat future proofing.

Thats One Good Looking Case you have there hahaa always wanted one of those.

MmmI really Dont know what you are Gonna Do with this Pc, but Thats one Hell Of a Overkill On the power Suply and Memory Ram. I would Go with 8Gb and Invest More on the Cpu or Video Card. Also Go with the 650w Version of that Power Suply Trust me With the New Ivy Bridge Power Saving Series you Wont even Reach 500w
