Ok, here's my input:
Just a side note, I think you'd get better PPD/$$$ going with one of intels new i3/i5/i7s. If you overclock it, (according to snoro's numbers anyway) a i3 will match, if not beat this in output and an i7, while a little more expensive will kill it. I know it's a bit more of an investment, but I've done both. (Phenom then i7) and the extra was more than worth it in my opinion. But I'll leave that to you, no pressure either way.
Hope that helps a little!
This is my opinion though as well... For more output, an i5-750 is what I think I would build with. It should net you about $100 more (no clue how many kr, or even what that is really) and get you almost twice the output (maybe ~180%). This is a guess though, I have not seen any propus numbers.
For probably about the same output, about the same cost, and less power consumption, build with an i3. (they overclock like beasts too without getting too hot)
Oh, and I believe money spent on a good PSU is money well spent. Consider efficiency over rated wattage though.
I'll third what D_A and Otis said about WD hardrives also - I won't buy anything else anymore.
