Hello and welcome to the forums mate 
It looks awesome
However change the motherboard to an ASUS or GIGABYTE board,go for P35 if u need single card or go for X48 if u need dual cards.
For RAM,i say go for a DDR2 800 RAM with 4-4-4x or lower timings because the difference between DDR2 800 and 1066 isnt much and DDR2 800 OC's very good too.

and thank you also for the tip about the SATA cables, no I did not know that they come bundled with motherboards .
Thanks again I'm about to order and think I'm going to add some kind of cpu cooler in case I want to overclock more than a little...!
