I agree with the above; the OPs build was good but a bit of a mish-mash of older components. For the budget he has, he could get a much better, more modern build.

A couple of points:

I reckon a higher wattage PSU than the above should be used...for a GPU and a CPU which could potentially both be overclocked, you want some headroom.

That motherboard is not SLI-capable, so if the OP is thinking of a multi-GPU setup further down the road, he'd be better served with a 7950 or 7970 as the motherboard can Crossfire...also, if so, see previus point about a PSU and make sure that the wattage is capable of running multi-GPUs, or you'll end up needing to upgrade that later, too!
