Looks good !
The only thing i would change is the Power Supply.
This one is not too much above the one you mentioned but is definately better !

I fully agree, I have the Corsair 520 and 620, both very high quality power supplies.

I would recommend a better DVD+-RW drive.

All around best drives for both CD-R and DVD burning are the Pioneer DVR-112 or Samsung 203

Just a note on the idea of a Corsair power supply, mine went pop after 3 months of use. It has gone back to the company with no cost to myself and is being replaced with a new one. While I can not fault the after sales support, this is the first time I have used one of thier PSU`s. Probably just bad luck.

why don't you just wait til the rest of the 45nm cpus come out, the price isn't gonna be that much higher on the quad cores, and the performance will be much better
