Here is your video card,

The 7850 is the best bang for the buck on video cards, beast for the price and overclocks really well. (If you are into that).

Here is your motherboard.

I would also highly recommend staying away from the OCZ Agility line, if you go OCZ you will want to get their Vertex line. Another great option would be the Crucial M4.

Asrock will definitely get my vote. All around great choice.

GPU wise, I'd also consider the GTX 560 TI's:

Just another fan boy statement that is going to get you in trouble. The 7850 is the best bang for the buck in terms of video cards and the most powerful card at that $250 range, period. The GTX 560 Ti 448 core is equal in power, but is more expensive and an older generation.

Like I said previously, avoid the OCZ Agility SSD you have selected. Either go with the OCZ Vertex line or something like a Crucial M4.

Hey Twinkie, I'm not trying to contradict you, but I was wondering if you could explain why the 7850 is the best bang for your buck in that bracket?
