I went and dug up my receipt, I ended up buying this:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz 8mb - $154.99
Asus M4A87TD Evo Motherboard - $114.99
Corsair Dominator 4gb 1600MHz C8 DHZ - $89.99
WD 1TB SATAIII 7200rpm BLACK - $79.99
Samsung 22x DVDRW SATA oem - $15.19
HIS Radeon 5850 1gb DDR5 - $189.99
Antec Hardcore Gamer 500W Bronze PSU - $69.99
Antec Three Hundred Case - $39.99 (I was going to get the same case/psu as you, they said that I should go for this combo as it has substantially better cooling and a much more reliable PSU)

Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit - $99.81
LG W2442P-BF 24" 2ms Black Tilt/Height Adjust LCD - $189.99

Not a hardware expert but a few buddies of mine seemed to think it was better than the options that I was looking at at NCIX (they were closing out an old style mobo/CPU and the cheap case).
