Hi and welcome to the forum
Firstly, what are you planning on using the PC for?
I'd assume gaming with a 5870 (or two) but need to check
A quality 750W PSU would do, Corsair are universally good
 
The SSD you have chosen is pretty gash - it has a 100MB/Sec read speed and a 80MB/Sec write speed, both of which are pretty poor for a 128GB SSD. You should be looking to get one with at least twice those speeds. I also believe they use the awful version of the JMicron controller.

Check out the offerings from Crucial, Corsair, Intel, or OCZ. You will have to part with a bit more cash but if you're going to buy an SSD you want one which outperforms a mechanical drive by a long way and not just a bit.
