Here's what I would do, I personally really like seasonic psu's, you could spend a little less but I really like this one. You have the budget so you could get a better video card but if you aren't into gaming too much I wouldn't. Case is a personal pick, I would get a blu-ray drive if you don't already have one. Edit: I had the wrong mobo this is the one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128412 It is cheaper too.
