Need a blessing on this computer build?

I am making a high-end budget PC for gaming and want it to last me a long while. This is my first build and I am pretty happy with it. If there are any incompatibility issues, please tell me bluntly, I can swallow my pride. If you know of any place to get components cheaper, please tell me.

CPU- Intel i7 920 Bloomfield $288.99

Motherboard- EVGA P55 SLI $139.99

Memory- Mushkin Enhanced Blackline (2X2gb) DDR3 7-7-7-20 $136.99 (will likely get another 4gbs next year)

Graphics Card- EVGA GTX 275 Co-op PhysX Edition $329.99

Hard Drive- Hitachi 1 TB HDD $79.99

Power Supply- Xion 1KW $95

DVD drive- LG 24x SATA Super-Multi DVD Burner $23.99

Case- NZXT Tempest- $89.99

Total: $1184.93

I am concerned the graphics card will not fit in a mid size case, I hear the Tempest is big but I hear the same about the card.
