For a Grand total of $384.97, with a $5 instant off the mem and cpu atm.
 
It does look good and you are right in that the components you chose are recomended a lot and people do choose those a lot because they are good quality , good performing components. Are you going to cool the cpu with the stock Heatsink/fan or an after market one , I didn't see one listed. I think this one would push you over your budget but Zalman makes such great cpu coolers I'm going to post it for you to look at anyway;

Maybe it will go on sale , or you can wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. :sol:
 
Considering the budget, I'd recommend the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ for around $30. It will overclock your CPU to very respectable levels.

I'm surprised your Hiper is still running, mine died 6 months outside of warranty (same model I believe). Which was about a year ago. You might wanna look at upgrade options for that PSU..
