I like it, only thing i would change would be going up to at 1866mhz on the RAM. That version of 7950 is alil iffy it seems but some people have good luck with them. Hope this helps ya in your decision making if this is what your going for.
Yes. I think it is a very balanced system. And very high performing.
Is there any particular reason why you have asked? Are you planning to purchase this?
Yeah i'm planning to purchase the parts.
Well, I think you have done quite an awesome job. I would swap out a few parts for some preferable parts. Just to ensure that it is the best you can get for your money.
If you leave a budget, someone will see if there are any improvements that can be made.
Overall you did a good job but here are few things that I think you should do:
1. For the power-supply get a CX600M (Semi Modual) If this isn't enough power, get a 700 version.
2. Get Gskill memory.
3. If you can, go with 1866 mhz ram.
4. Purchase these all at ONCE, not one part after some time from each other.

I threw together a quick list, without knowing your budget. I left it in US dollars.
The XFX 550W power supply is more than enough for your build. And at $25 after discount it is an absolute STEAL!
I left the 7950 that you chose in the build. You might consider a card with more overclocking capability.
Main thing that I changed was the motherboard. The ASUS M5A99x is fantastic.
I left the storage and chassis out of this configuration. I will leave you to decide on those.

That 7950 is one of the quietest 7950s, but is also one of the hottest(still not that hot, really).
M5A99X has really nice VRMs for overclocking, and great cooling.
That PSU is in my own system. It's based on a Seasonic design, and runs quiet and cool.
