This is my first build and I wanted to know if thebuild is ok and if the components will work together. I am basicaly going to use the PC for digitizing my DVD collection and running it to to HD tvs. Aslo I will be saving all of the video and pictures on it. I will also want to play Diablo III, stream videos from online, and burn Blurays. I am very open to comments and suggestions to improve. trying to keep the budget under $800. Thanks

So you want to power your $800 rig with a $20 power supply? This has to be the Hec Orion right? Definitely get a quality PSU and maybe save all your parts from death.

Heres a nice review for ya:

Pros: Nothen, It's a Piece
Cons: It blew up and starting burning!

 
as Popatim pointed out, that PSU is of far lesser quality than it should be. Units at that price are just not to be relied upon. I recommend this PSU for your build, has ample wattage for the build as it stands and has a legendary reputation of Seasonic behind it. They are widely considered the best PSU manufacturer.
Seasonic 430W, 80+ Bronze. $60

That CPU can be downgraded with no loss to performance to the usage you described. An i3 2120 will be fine.
Intel i3 2120. $125

Do you really need 6TB of storage?
