Not a bad start, but I'd change a few things.

Go with a DVD Burner that comes with software.

Get a quality power supply. This is very important. We recommend Corsair 550w units.

As for the combo, you can do much better buying individually. Go with an Asus board instead. Go with a Western Digital Black hard drive. The RAM is good.

XFX is bad news, if you want an ATI 4890 card go with Diamond or Asus, they offer the best support.
For gaming get a WD black.
Wrong memory, you need DDR3, look at Corsair. Samsung Optical Drives are worthless.

You can go Intel if you like, both AMD and Intel will work just fine for you. I do recommend you stick to ATI over Nvidia for gaming.
