Not sure I would go with the Nforce 500 SLI, if you really want SLI, I would suggest the M2N SLI Deluxe.

Go with a better powersupply. That one doesn't even have PCI-E connectors. Look at FSP and Xclio instead.

The Sony optical does come with a Software disc, but doesn't specificy Nero. I would go with a Lite-On retail to be safe.

Everything else looks fine.

To be honest, I don't really care for SLI. Can you guys reccomend a non SLI mobo?

How does this PSU look?

Allright so with the new mobo suggested by Ferrari, and the new PSU, this rig should work fine correct? It's gonna be mostly for games so If you guys think I should change anything out let me know.

The only thing I'd change is from AMD to Intel, but your list is all compatible.
