Building my first PC and I would love some input from people who now what they are doing.

So far I've decide on:
CPU- i5 370k
Mobo- sabertooth Z77LGA 155
or--- P8Z77-vlk lga
I have a PSU thermaltake pure power ATX 12v 2.0 600W <--I've been using a few years not sure if I should replace. any help would be great.
I also have a GeForc 9600GSo 1GB DDR2 GPU... pretty sure I need to replace this.

Question is am I on the right track with this build? Also can I use the PSU and GPU even if I replace them later? And 3rd Please recommend a new GPU, PSU (if I need one), and RAM.
Also I'm planning on using windows 7 64bit.
And I plan on getting a mid grade 7200 rpm hard drive. Any suggestions would be great. Please let me know if I'm forgetting anything.

I hope I'm not asking for too much, but this is my first build. Any help would b greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I started off with about a $400 budget. I've blown that pretty quickly. So the PSU, would I be OK with using my old one for a month or so until I can get a new one? The GPU I'm looking to spend around $200 to $250. Also ould I hurt anything if I used the old one until I can get a new one?
Thanks for your help so far.
