i would not put a 4850x2 and a i7 920 in a case like that. those are 2 highend parts that are going to be releasing a ton of heat in the air.

why the blue-ray drive?
to fit it in you budget i would look at a gtx260 1gig video card $160 or a ati 4870 1gb $150 and that will perform great with any game at that res.
maybe a nicer motherboard like the asus p6t se $210 $194 after rebate.
if you get the better motherboard you and get the ddr3 1600 ram for the same price.
look at the antec 300 case
