I'm looking to put together a new system for gaming (shooters), development (.net mostly), and some light graphics and video processing. Will this build work well? Not interested in overclocking or squeezing performance out of anything, just looking for solid components that will do the job for a couple of years. Have KB/mouse/monitor, so is there anything missing from this list (fans?)?

Many thanks!
