I don't think I am missing anything that I bought. Already have mouse and keyboard.

Is that a good price for everything? I am coming from an Athlon 64 2800, 1.2GB of ram.. and Radeon 9700 Pro.
So this should be a major upgrade for me.

I am really mad at myself when I bought this though (from newegg)... Every single part for the computer could have been shipped from Memphis, TN for 1 day shipping (being here monday).. but that single Samsung 22X drive wasn't available except in California and they shipped my whole purchase from there and won't get it till Wednesday. lol. I actually hit Pay on accident because I was going to order them in 2 seperate orders but messed myself up. Oh well though... Just wanted it all before then.

I had already bought the Antec 300, Ram, Powersupply, and GPU before this though. And I bought the monitor from Staples.
 
That seems like a great build to me. Looks like you really got good prices.

The only thing I can find to gripe about is the tall RAM heatsinks. You may need to move them to the outside slots to accommodate a large after-market CPU cooler.
