Need a bit of help with my build...

Hey guys, i was on here a while back with this build but now ive actually gotten the money together for it and i thought it would be a perfect chance to review or perhaps change a bit of the components around to give a little better performance overall. i already have the case and blu-ray burner for it that i ordered a few days ago

Case:
Amazon.com: Cooler Master HAF 932 High Air Flow ATX Full Tower Case Black - (RC-932-KKN1-GP): Computer & Accessories: Reviews, Prices & more

Burner:
Newegg.com - LG WH10LS30K 10X Blu-ray Burner - LightScribe Support - Bulk - Blu-Ray Burners

Basically, im planning on playing a few decent games on it and watching/burning high def videos on it, i just want it to go and not burn into a hellfire as im trying to watch Avatar in high definition. this is the rest of the rig so far, if you guys have ANY suggestions on upgrades or anything of the sort id really appreciate it.

I'm confused. If you include everything minus the mouse, monitor and keyboard, how much are you talking about?
