Looks fine except the OCZ drive, I prefer crucial and Samsung. Try to look for a BX 100.

Hey OP,
Your list is great, but I've made a few changes and modifications to it. I got a 250GB BX100 drive, along with a much more ballsy motherboard. The power supply will happily accommodate 2 more 390's if needed. The Fractal Design Newton is a 1000 Watt Platinum design and currently has a ridiculous deal going on. I know it is a bit more pricey, but it's usually around $300.

So according to this link: http://linustechtips...-psu-whitelist/

An Antec High Current Gamer PSU would be a good budget based purchase?
