You just can't get a bad PSU, all that's going to happen is all your parts are going to burn to a crisp.

AM3+ Mobo so the upgrade path is there to get a FX-6350/8350 or even a FX-9*** when they come out. 1600x900 is a great resolution, you get a lot higher FPS and it almost looks as good.

That PSU you picked, as far as I can tell isn't even 80+. Finding a 1080p screen bran-new at the price you're looking at is going to be hard, I would suggest looking on ebay for a good second hand one. You could drop to a 500GB HDD and save about £12.

Looks good, apart from 1600MHz Ram would be better, also 2x4GB is better than 4x2GB.
