The psu is a little overkill in my opinion. I would get a decent 600W psu. If you're planning on getting one for a future crossfire, well then this one won't do either since it has only 4x 6+2 pcie power connectors.

 

I would also get a 120Gb SSD if you can spare 80$ more (do you really need the blu-ray drive ?).

 

edit : the psu will do for a future crossfire upgrade. It has an 8pin (for mobo) and 4 6+2 pins. 

I would get a different mobo though.

Spoiler
