I have the same Coolermaster PSU in one of my other computers. $1320 is a good price when you consider it includes a monitor.
How much are you getting the Vertex 2 for? There may be some better deals for SSD pricing out there.
If you aren't going to overclock the i7 2500K, the stock heatsink and fan will suffice and you don't need the Mugen 2.

There are two rebates. The first is for the Gigabyte board and it sounds like there shouldn't be any issues.
The second is for the Vertex 2. It's a $40 mail-in-rebate from Memory Express.
When it comes to the price of the Vertex 2 it's a bit of a gray area and I'm not sure if MemX will go for the price match. NewEgg has is for $169.99. MemX is selling it for $159.99 though that is AFTER a $40 MIR. Their current price is $229.99 less $40 instant savings for $189.99. I'm not sure if they will price match NewEgg with their before MIR price or their after price. I'm hoping it's their before price as NewEgg is still selling it for cheaper.
Provided MemEx goes with the pricematch the SSD would come to $134.99 which would be a rebate from OCZ.
I listed the incorrect pricing for the Vertex 2 in my spreadsheet so the computer total is $1300.78 rather than $1320.78 (with monitor, without tax, and without MIR included).
I plan on OC'ing the chip but I'm not very bright with voltages and whatnot so all I'm going to do is press the auto-OC and leave it at that.
