Looks like a good spec, I have that monitor and it is fantastic for games, well worth the money considering the awesome IPS panel it uses.

As for the HDD, I'd suggest not going for the Velociraptor. An SSD would be a good alternative (perhaps something like this, budget permitting), but you will want a standard HDD for storage (something like this maybe).

As for the h50 cooler, I would hold off buying this for a week or so as corsair are about to release their proper s1156 mount for it.

As for the GPU, the 5870 is a great card but the 5850 is £100 less and not that much slower - maybe worth a look. Also I suggest going for an XFX card as the warranty is direct with OCUK.

ill be holding off with the order till win 7 is out so hopefully corsair will have got that sorted then
