looks good but you might want to get the GTX 260 core 216 instead of the 4870 depending the res you play at. also a good case would be the antec twelve hundred or nine hundred.
 
I know the nvidia card is better, but we're tight for cash. If we could slice 100$ off the rest of the parts, I would definitely go for the Nvidia one.

How many watts should the PSU be? (and is PC power and cooling a good company?)

Mid or Full case?
 
If your tight for cash why are you gettin I7 I would get a Q9450 and a 780 board spending the extra money on graphics as a gaming maching.

I prefer full tower you fit more stuff in, easier to work with aswell. I will probably keep my lian li full tower for the rest of my life maybe with some modding down the road but the same basic case. The antec 900 is a good case if your incdecisive and tight on budget personally can't stand the over flashy gaming cases.
 
So i7 isn't a huge upgrade over the Core 2 Duo for gaming? It certainly would save money to get one of those and a lga 775 mobo.
