The configuration looks nice

You might as well wait till after February and see what they offer for Sandy Bridge i3's.
This would give you a chance at greater upgrades later.

With any video card you put in your pc the 360 watt power supply is going to be too weak. Most Nvidia or ATI video cards recommend at least a power supply that put's out 450 watts. That's rock bottom. Personally, I'd get atleast a 750 watt power supply that leaves you some breathing room for future component upgrades.

I don't see an OS listed. Understand that only a retail version of Windows is transferable to a new computer. So, if you are planning to use an OEM license that came with or was bought for your old computer, that is illegal. You will need to purchase a new license, or go with one of the many capable and free Linux alternatives.
