Try to go for a PSU manufactured by Seasonic, like the antec Truepower series, or maybe a CWT like the corsair TX650M. The rest looks good to me.

Yeah, change the power supply.
 
+1 the psu, dont see anything wrong with the rig, will play them all max :P

would change drive to samsung or WD, seagate warranty is something like 1 years on there normal drives now
 
I personally dont see a problem with the PSU, Antec make good ones and I have never had hassles with them in the past.
If you start looking at the equivalent in corsair then expect to pay a lot more.
 
Change the PSU to a Antec High Current Gamer or equivalent from Corsair/Seasonic.

The Seagate HDD change that to a WD or Samsung with better warranty.
 
Seagate Barracuda XT's also have 5 year warranties.
 
The sammy's and WD's all seem to have a 1 year warranty at the mo?!?!
 
WD Caviar Black and Seagate Barracuda XT Both have 5 year warranties. My next build will have one of each in a RAID 1 array. Trust no one.

Antec High Current Gamer 400 - 620w as mentioned, are Seasonic. Best value PSUs at the moment! Would be my recommendation too.

Nice build. P8P67 vs P8Z68-V LE ?
 
XT seems a bit of an over kill, I dont think ill ever need more then 1 TB on this rig, most of my Data sits on my HTPC and thats got 5TB at the mo.
 
As mentioned, rather look at the P8P67 and P8Z68-V LE. Priced the same. I have a firm belief mATX mobos are only good for home/office PCs. :p
 
im building it, so ill get the bits from who ever is sellin 'em cheapest ;)
 
Ill see if I can source a good price on that P8Z68-V LE mobo, looks pretty good.
