I fixed a number of issues in your setup, like your motherboard will not support Xfire, etc.
 
I strongly advise you to get a monitor off the side, either from newegg or any other retailer. You could probably get a better deal on this.
 
I added 4 year warranty + stage 3 air cooling, dropped eye-candy lights, changed your memory to OCZ instead of Corsair, got you a bigger HD.

PS: You can still go w/ 160gig HD and upgrade later.
