u might be able to pick up an even better cpu from ocn sales section. but the build looks pretty good. if extra 35 dollars isn't too much, u can consider this XFX 9800 GTX+

To slash prices further, I recommend an E5200 or E5300 instead of that E7300. Don't worry, 3.7GHz is pretty much guaranteed on the crappiest E5200 or E5300. Besides, it's only 1MB L2 difference. 2MB L2 will be plenty.

With the savings here, you can definitely opt for a 55nm GTX 260.

This is probably a good idea. ATI is your best bet in that price range.
