Power supply - probably don't need 750W. 600 - 650W would do. But I don't know what other option you've got.

RAM - don't see the need of 8GB RAM. 4GB will usually be enough

Monitor - That not worth $188. You can get it at $160 include shipping at newegg
You can have a look at these as well

Nice one, not a big fan of AMD, but i was told the new X6 is out, and dual channel, if you're going for the DDR3 Ram should really go for the tripple chanel, The monitor you could probably get bigger monitor for that price or just above that.

Also would personnaly go for a better Hard drive, something along the 10000 RPM, or at least 32 MB of Cache, personally would go for 64MB if really want to stick with 7200 RPM,

Really see no budget here , other than your price for the whole thing, so i guess any extras could be bought no problems,

I would also definetly get the Blu ray player, and a bit faster one, perhaps that LG one that goes x8, and perhaps optional should be next to the DVD not the Blu ray.

Ram, i would not mind having the 8 gig, but unless you are going to push your computer very hard, running lots of application which need lots of memory, you could live with 4-6GB,

Nice GPU, PSU, everything else seems good, also if you go to school/uni, you should be able to get the software cheaper than retail, ie the ultimate steal deal. search on google, this is only for the education people, i.e. students and teachers with .edu or .univeristy email address ending. but could save you lots of money.

Keep the PSU, you never know what you might need it for, xD

I hope helped a bit
