Nice.
May I recommend two more things if you don't have them:
- CPU heatsink (quieter, better overclocking) http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=41337&vpn=RR-B10-212P-G1&manufacture=COOLERMASTER&promoid=1259

- CASE, Antec ONE http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=67322

And of course: Windows 7 Premium 64-bit OEM

Good luck, and have fun!
(The HD7870 is about 33% faster than my HD5870 and I could play many games on the highest settings. You're going to enjoy this system.)
