AeroCool PSUs are crap. You want Antec, Corsair, Enermax, newer OCZ (Z/ZS/ZT), PCP&C, newer Rosewill, Seasonic, or XFX. 550W is enough though if not SLI/CF, 750W if yes.

No point in closed loop coolers; they often get outperformed by cheaper air coolers.

Get a 7950; it's more powerful for the same price.

There's no difference between an i5 and i7 if gaming. Get the 3570K.

Caviar Black drives are overpriced. Get something cheaper and maybe an SSD (I recommend Vertex4 or Samsung 830).

If you're in the US newegg will toss in 8GB RAM free with that board.

Do you need the BD drive?

Seasonic is the way to go for power supplies. The rest of your build looks great.
