looks good. But why are you using an h67 motherboard with an overclockable processor? You should get p67, so you can overclock your processor, and get a cpu cooler, preferably the noctua d14. A cpu cooler will last you a long time, and so will the case, sound card, and power supply, so you should consider spending extra money on those. You can get a 550 watt power supply with that build, maybe lower, the seasonic x560 is the best, but any decent 550w power supply will be ok, you don't need that much wattage. Also, why do you need an extra fan? The i5 3570k is the newest cpu, it's the fastest also, so you should get that one instead of the 2500k, the older, slower, and more power hungry relative. You can use an old hard drive and an old operating system, but windows 7 is best, and an ssd ($100 for mushkin chronos 120gb) will give you better performance. Also, make sure that the ram is dual channel, not triple channel.
