hey mate,
i would at least go a 1tb hard drive for plenty of space. And also 16gb of ram. Just save up for a few more weeks and u will be alot happier with the end result
 
Everything looks great to me. Since you have $61 left, why not getting a HD6870 then? It has better performance and only around 30 dollars extra.

For the CPU fan, I would rather go for Freezer 7 pro rev.2. I've been using it in my case for several years and is still working wonderfully.:)
