I just built my first system as well, similar to that, you can see its specs below. I dont know how much all your stuff is costing, but I built mine for only about $750. One main thing ive realized is your case is pretty important as that will determine how lmuch noise comes from your computer, and how how well vented the system is.
You might want to go with a 450 watt power supply just to have the extra wattage in case, but you should be okay. Also you might want a slightly bigger hard drive as todays new games and software really take up a lot of space.
