It looks good.

Picking the 6850 as your GPU is smart. Low power requirements and only 1 6-pin PCI-e power connector required for the card. This means you can crossfire them (if you choose) using that 650w PSU. Most cards required a higher powered unit with more connectors.
 
I would swap the 2500k for a 2400 if you don't overclock else add a hyper N 212.
I would change the PSU for an Antec High Current Gamer 400 watts with that GPU.
And I would also invest 20$ on a Spinpoint F3 1tb.

I would get an HAF 912 for that price but case is up to you :)
