Any other part recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
I don't see anything that really stands out. Here are some general recommendations.
1) Your PSU is overkill. A good 550-600W would be just fine for this system unless you want a lot of room for growth. PSU's are much more efficient these days.
2) Maybe an SSD for your boot drive. A 120GB SSD is like $90 and makes a world of a difference. There have been alot of SSD deals lately. I got a 240GB 330 Intel drive for $160 on Newegg the other week. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Solid-State-Drive-SATA-2-5-Inch/dp/B007P71J9W/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350056325&sr=1-1&keywords=intel+330+120Gb
3) Any reason why you are purchasing from Amazon? Newegg, might have some better deals and you can find combo deals as well. Also, remember Amazon charges tax in some states. Just a thought, not a big deal.
 
all those parts will work together just I think your price is a little high.

Thanks for the responses. I'll definitely consider a much less powerful PSU and I only really bought off Amazon because I'd used it before. I will follow ScrewySqrl build now. Thanks for the help!
