In terms of the PSU, I recommend a Seasonic M12II 620W PSU; much better than the one listed. For a case, I love the Corsair 500R; great cooling, and great looking to boot.
In terms of the GPU; that is not a gaming GPU, that is a Workstation GPU; it won't work for you at all. For that price, just go up $50 and get yourself a great Radeon 7870 GHz Edition card that will do quite well with almost anything at 1080p.
My only other comment is that a heatsink may not fit well with that RAM.

I took your advice! the Radeon 7870 GHz graphics card looks good, but the case is a little out of my price range.
I'm also concerned/confused about the heatsink. (noob question) Do I buy a heatsink, or does that come with the case?

Heatsink comes with CPU, but you can buy an aftermarket one; I recommend buying the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for about $30. If the case is too expensive, then get the Corsair 300R for about $70; it is like the 500R, but it's missing the 200mm fan slot on the side; still an awesome case though.
And don't forget; if you think that the question has been answered, and there is a person who has been especially helpful, you should choose their answer as the best!

That case looks great, and definitely within my budget. I just want to confirm: Everything in this computer looks logical/compatible/best for my dollar? I only ask because you seem to be quite knowledgeable about building computers
