Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
GPU: Asus EN8800GT/G/HTDP/512M
Ram: 2 x Corsair 2GB (4x1GB) PC6400, CL4
Sound Card: Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic (Optional)
Case: Gigabyte Poseidon (ATX, No PSU, Zwart)
PSU: Zalman ZM600-HP 600W (ATX, Heatpipe))
Extra Fan: Scythe Infinity SCINF-1000
HDD: 2 x Western Digital Caviar RE WD2500YD, 250GB (7200rpm, SATA, 16MB) (Not so sure about these)

And maybe make suggestions about everything else, I also don't know what DVD drive I should get.
 
Just buy something with a socket that supports that processor. Since you only have one video card, you don't need to spend money on a pricey SLi board. That RAM will fit in most modern socket 775 boards so just look around. Abit, ASUS are probably my recommendation. Make sure the one you choose has plenty of SATA ports also.
 
Any other comments? I still have some time before I'm going to order this so I want to know if there are any other good things out there. I was thinking of getting some ram with better latencies since ram comes quite cheap at the moment.
I also just noticed that the case I listed is quite hard to get at the moment so any other cases would be nice.
