if your not an overclocker then i5-2400 is perfect

Biostar has come a long way lately.
Hitachi is just WD.
v12dock, you can get a NZXT Source 210 for the same price as that rosewill.

Looks good, I would beg, borrow or steal for a little extra and get the 2500k. Simply because of the free performance you can get with a simple multi change. Even if its only a simple 500mhz or so. Any of the i5 chips are great though.

Looks pretty good. Try saving a few bucks by getting a single 4GB stick of RAM, like this one: AMD Entertainment Edition 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM D...
You can also switch over to this Rosewill PSU: Rosewill Green Series RG530-S12 530W Continuous @4...
And this DVD burner: SAMSUNG Black 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM ...
That saves you about $20. Take that $20 and buy a Core i5 2500K from NCIX.com for $200 here: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=57962&vpn=BX80623I52500K

If you don't plan to OC, since you picked up the 2400, you can go with a H67 board and put the rest of the money towards a 6870.

I rather use a WD/Hitachi over a crappy Seagate /Samsung any day.
Another PSU option over the Rosewill.
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 55...
I'd rather have an Antec/Seasonic/Corsair most of the time.

If you haven't taken my suggestions above and decided to just spend more money, you can still do what I say and get a cheap heatsink for the 2500K. These things will hit 4.2-4.5GHz like nothing with a half decent heatsink.
