I'm fairly new to this. Overall, does it look like it'll work pretty well or should I improve on anything? Thanks.
 
Heh I didn't know if there were any improvements I could make, I think I'll actually opt for a 600+ Watt PSU just incase.
 
Well, since it looks like you have the money I would get separate DVD and CD Burners that way they last longer and go with plextor. I would also reccomend a Li Lian Full tower Case.

This is also a 7.1 Sound card, thats very good. Its cheaper then the one you posted.

Heres a better power supply, the OCZ are good but the one you posted doesn't have dual 12V rails and I would reccomend one that does for such a high end system. So here.

I wouldnt definitly use the Creative XFi. thats a helluva nice build there. Great choices in all of your hardware
 
Add a dvd-rom as well as having a dvd burner. It'll make burning alot easier and nice to have 2 drives anyways.
