Is there anything I'm missing other than what I stated I don't need?

Does this combo look good?

You seem to be missing a video card.
And your parts will get there without an OS. Win7 won't ship with your parts.

i have a video card im going to use until i get an ati 5000+ later, and i just want to order them now while they have the good combo deals :) but other than that, does it look okay?

Reply to xln

It looks pretty good. I had to check that memory kit but no problems there.
Try and get another person or two to look it over as well.

Reply to WR2

okay, thanks. just nervous because it's my first build

Reply to xln

Everything looks fine.
Just ensure that if you wanna run multi cards down the road then the PSU is adequate...
