Get the Samsung Spinpoint F3 instead it has better performance than the WD. It's only $60. I don't know the price difference between the 965 and 955 but you should be fine dropping to a 955 since black edition CPU are easy to overclock. The multiplier is unlocked. Good quality power supply. The rest looks good, you're good to go!
Looks to be that way. With that GTX 580, you might have to remove the removable HD cage to make it fit since it is a large card (my GTX 570 is pretty long)

Otherwise good build. Waiting for Bulldozer I see?
