ok, good processor, with your budget i'd go with a 3000+, but if you can squeeze it in its a good deal.
the motherboard has a bad chipset, you can get better ones for a bit cheaper. yes cheaper.
Ram is fine, might want to go with 2 512mb sticks as its a bit cheaper.
Is that big of a harddrive necessary? also make sure if you get a harddrive 200gb or more then make sure u get 16mb cache!
gpu is good, but if you went cheaper in other places you can get quite a bit better.
keyboard is just personal opinion
i prefure NEC drives, particularly the 3500 series which are the same price range and better imo.
BTW check out the $800 i have picked out for gaming:
