All looks pretty good. Couple of questions/comments:

I notice you are buying 3rd party cooling. Are you planning on overclocking? If so, you may want to consider different ram (PC6400).

I have never heard of IN WIN powersupplies, and that is scary. I'd suggest getting a PSU from a namebrand company like Antec, Enermax or FSB. Have a look at this thread here:

Thanks allot for the reply. I dont plan on overclocking but figured the cooler the cpu was the better; am i just wasting cash on a beefy heatsink? And Im looking into another psu as you would not be the first to warn me about shady unkowns.
 
Yea, I'll second Don on the PSU issue. IN WIN is probably a terrible brand. You should go with a Antec, Enermax, Fortron, OCZ power supply, or if you are REALLY serious and want a pwnage PSU, then get a PCP&C, as they are probably the best PSU company out there.
 
It looks nice (I would agree with everyone with the power supply though), although I see no trace of a video card :suspiciou .
 
yea, you need a nice DX10 compatible card to get the fancy Aero effects out of Vista. for a mainstream everyday use, a single card such as the Nvidia GeForce 6600 with 128MB will do fine, but if your a gamer i suggest either an SLI or Crossfire setup, that will really power them games. ditto for me on the PSU issue as well, never heard of the brand, so must be bad. I use an Antec PSU, and it works well, will never buy anaother brand

...AMD
