i'd suggest swapping out the 6870 with a 7850 or better but what you have is ok . .

down grade your psu to a cheaper 500w.
You can get a 965 for $5 more.
Get this hard drive from WD instead

It's cheaper.
Get the msi 970A

You also might just want to wait a little, there are currently 660's for the same price as that 6870, but they are sold out.
I'm pretty sure that I saved you enough money to be able to include this in your pc as well

an his 7870 for $210. Comes with free games as well. Why would you get windows 7 pro? Just get home premium.

that would be ok but this, if the rebate can work, would be much better:
PowerColor AX7850 2GB $184.99
$174.99 after $10.00 rebate
