Also, buy a good video card. It sounds like you have a pretty good system, you will need a good video card to have everything running good.
also, what will you be mostly using your computer for?

Yeah you missed the OS. i might swap the Seagatecontinual for a WDcontinual. this is only me however; I dislike Seagate. Maxxtor is a branch of Seagate now. in any case, that's a reasonably good setup. shop your new CPU cooler. production facility heatsinks artwork, yet are not too good once you'll be overclocking. you ought to use any OS, however i might advise Vista in case you choose to apply DX10. Vista isn't a undesirable OS, you purely ought to run some courses as administrator (there's a checkbox on software homes) to get it to no longer lag. 2gb of RAM is nice, 3gb may well be nicer (be optimistic to get a similar style and comparable specs. Do 2x1gb and 2x512mb). in case you intend on going above 4gb RAM, get a 64bit OS like Vista x64 or XP professional x64. For some reason however, i'm thinking you are able to nonetheless get that fee down. i don't be attentive to what to alter to do it however. It only looks intense to me. have you ever priced out a diverse style of RAM, or is that the main inexpensive?

Sounds to me like your building a gaming computer. Those parts dont come cheap! First i got my answers from a google site listed here http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/pc-building/fitting/pc-case/
This really helped me alot. If you need more answers then contact me at sorowsblade@yahoo.com I will be glad to help you out. it does not look like your missing any parts. I would suggest you get a better graphics card though. Mabey a radeon X1900 pro, or a nVidia, or GeForce. Those are all good brands. Try those out if you want a sweet computer.

I did not see a built in MB Video or video card in your list.
You are also going to need cooling fans and heat sinks, consider a water cooled system if budget allows
