Um, your CPU choice will not work with your motherboard.
The CPU is LGA 1336 but the motherboard is LGA 1156 so neither will fit with the other. Judging by your RAM choice, you want the X58 platform, so you'll want an X58 motherboard.
However, X58 (1336) is way overpowered for gaming so you might want to tell people in here what resolution you play at, and what you want out of this PC. Hell, that CPU costs like, a grand doesn't it? You shouldn't need to spend over 300 for your purposes.
Also, don't get an nVidia card if you want something that'll run DirectX 11. Either select an ATI 5850/5870 or wait for nVidia's new 'Fermi' products to debut.
The 1000 Watt Power Supply is also unnecessary. Unless you use your PC to cook meth or grow pot, 1000 watts is way, way too much. Instead, look for a 600-750 Watt.
You don't need three drives for removable media. A Blu-Ray drive should burn to DVD's and CD's, and if you need a second drive, then just get a DVD writer.
