The only problem with this build is the e8400 doesn't stay in stock for long.

If you have more money,
you might want to double the ram or get a larger hard drive (500GB ~ $100).
Also if you want to overclock more than what the stock cooler gives you then try to get the following for $17 more.
e8400 without cooler - 199.99

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 - 26.99

If you want to save some money then get
CPU - e8200 - 179.99

Video card - XFX 8800gt - 199.99 with 30 MIR

or even cheaper but worse,
