you didnt mention adding anything to the system so you can start by cutting that psu almost in half
for this set up 750w will be plenty
 
most everything else looks good, but do you really intend to use that much HDD space? its a pretty insane amount. youre better off to use the money you save by dropping the huge power supply and get yourself an intel SSD (80gb) main drive and a secondary 1tb drive
 
your mobo is a little overkill for what you have listed, but not a big deal
