Your system as it is now will work.

A few things I might change is the motherboard, trying to find one with more USB slots or perhaps built in wifi so you dont need to worry with the extra card

The case you chose only has 4 hard drive bays so if change your motherboard you can sacrifice sata ports for other things.

Those are just nit picky things though. You could save some money on getting W7HP instead. Also most ratings have intel chips rated higher than current AMD chips.
