Everything looks pretty solid to me...If I had to make a suggestion I'd say to get a little more powerful PSU; maybe 480W. Again, that's just knit-picking.

I'd also go ahead and buy an anti-static wrist strap for installation. Since this is your first build I'm assuming you don't already have one. Good luck!
