Seems like a good choice for the price.
Consider the following too as a change. ATI plays very nicely with AMD, thus this choice. RAM and PSU are more personal choice.

PSU - High amp rating is a big plus for this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341022

Your good except for the RAM DDR2-1066 is only supported by AM2+ CPU's Which would be a Phenom, Use DDR2-800, for your setup.
