You can get cheaper RAM - Intel gets virtually no benefit above 1600Mhz, though I'd get ram with nice tight timings.
A Sabertooth is WAY overkill for an i5, and for a gaming rig. I'd go with a gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H. It's got all the features you could possibly want for fairly cheap.
Get a cheaper HD - you don't need a 32MB cash, and sata III is just silly - four 7200 RPM drives in raid 0 don't even fill a single sata II controller. (I'd recommend a 1TB western digital black.)
As for everything else, it looks good.
Do yourself a favor, and take the savings from all that to buy yourself a decent SSD that WILL use SATA III to it's fullest - it makes a HUGE difference in boot times, load times, and general 'snap' of windows.

Best solution
A couple of suggestions:
The Sabertooth is more than you need - a bit overpriced. Get it if you want, but you can get boards that are just as good for a lot less.
No need for 1866 ram unless its the same price as 1600.
CM PSUs are pretty hopeless - you want Corsair, Antec, Enermax, PCP&C, Seasonic, or a few others I may have forgotten.
Other than that it's pretty good
