We don't yet recommend the sandy bridge branch of cpus due to possible instabilities so just know you're taking a risk there.
Mobo is fine, although its sold out at newegg. I would prefer to see a gigabyte/asus board.
RAM is fine, 8gb is a little overkill for a gaming box i would prefer to see a 2x2gb set.
Video card seems a bit extensive, note that your paying an additional $20 for something you could do yourself with a stock card. (both cards are currently out of stock)
For casual music listening on board sound should be fine. although this is a preference.
Good choice on harddrive, if your storing HD movies might look and upgrading to say 750gb for an extra $20.
Burner will do you fine, same one as i have
(little noisy while writing)
I admit stock HSF for intel are pretty bad but you will not be needing something quite that expensive. Something like this will do you just fine.
Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler
Case is fine.
PSU is fine.
Overall, Solid build.
