seems good for that price. not sure about the processor though since i'm only familiar with intel. your graphics card is one of the best, i'm not even sure if you need that unless you're going to be playing a lot of games that need it. besides that everything sounds great.

With what you have in that computer, especially the video card and the processor, i'd suggest getting a better power supply, at least a 400 watt power supply, if you can; it shouldn't cost you a lot for a very good quality one. If you can't, it's not a problem, but there's a chance you'll experience some crashes or lockups. And expect to have some major heat in that case, since AMD processors are not only known for their performance, but also for creating a lot of heat. If you have the money to shell out a better CPU fan, go for it.
Other then that, that PC looks mighty fine to me.
