Your build is a solid performer , but keep in mind if you choose a 650w PSU you will be limited to 1 5850 and if you went with at least a 750w you can CF a 5850 or a 5870 with your existing 5850 in the future other than that your build is solid.

If crossfire is your intention I would recommend the $3 less NG921 or $9 more Tempest(best) mainly for better airflow with CF/SLI components.

Thanks for the advice. The upgrade to a Corsair CMPSU-750TX Power Supply is only 11 bones. No reason I shouldn't make that upgrade. As far as the case goes, yeah, good call on that one. Better to go with function over form.
