Lol. I thought you bought stuff already. Sorry. Let me go through everything again and see if I can find anything on sale.

The original Gigabyte mobo doesn't actually have the firewire port. IDK why it showed on on the listing search as having one earlier in the week. The one in the build now does have it for sure. Good thing you didn't order . The new one also properly supports multi gpu if you really want to try 4850 Xfire.

There is a 1TB and 1.5TB Seagate for $100. The 1TB is faster due to the 7200RPM, while the 1.5TB is slower at 5900RPM. I'm going to let you decide which best suites your needs.

Here is what I came up with:
CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 V2 500W - $49.99 w/ CC EMCNFJN27 ($20 MIR)
G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 - $32.30 w/ CC EMCNFJN27
GIGABYTE GA-P67X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 - $119.99 ($20 MIR)
Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz - $189.99
Seagate Barracuda Green ST1500DL003 1.5TB 5900 RPM/Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM - $99.00

Total = $507.95 - $15.70 (CC) = $502.20 - $40 MIR = $462.20

If you feel like spending another $30 on a 2500K I recommend that. Just due to being able to overclock now with the P67. A year or two from now if you feel you need more speed spend 10 minutes in the bios and you can get it to 4.5GHz with ease.
