Not bad. But there are a few things that grab my eye. First, the 350W supply that comes with the case. I think that might be cutting it a bit too close.

Second, with Intel's Conroe CPUs around the corner, have you thought about getting one of them? They outperform AMDs offerings and also overclock well!

Yes, not bad at all but I recommend you to change your power supply. Maybe a 450W power supply will do for your system for now.

Good Luck

Prices- CPU ~200$, MB -180$~, Memory ~160$, 2* HD 150,GPU 175$, DVDRW 50, CDRW 20,Reasonable Case with OK PSU 100$ -sum 1035$. So 1333 is pretty expensive...You could get a better deal money wise.
Other than that:
Sounds pretty nice, I agree about the PSU, at least 450W brand name is in order here.
Also, Sony do not make good optical drives. We sold them for a while and I had many returned after a year or less.
If you want to go for a midrange drive, the NEC's are fine, if you want high end go for pLextor's. Do some research before you buy...look around ask around...
Good Luck!
EDIT: I also noticed that the Video Card manufacturer isn't noted -who is it? same goes for HD.Make sure your Memory is also what they claim and not a rip off.
As I said, you can get a better deal....
