Get a spinpoint F3 instead of the WD black, use combo deals, look into getting the coolermaster case / psu combo and if you're getting a ATX tower, might as well get an ATX motherboard so you have more slots and stuff. Other than that, it's a pretty standard build and looks good.

The [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185]Spinpoint F3[/url] is cheaper than the WD Black and offers similar performance.
