Hello, let me add that you'll have fun building your own PC.

A few points to note:
The GTX465 is dead now that the GTX460 is introduced. Don't get it.
Samsung F3s are nice HDDs.

Many people do not like the Intel boards as they are not very high quality.
I'd say this board would be better: $70

Note I'm only recomending this under the notion that you ARE NOT going to crossfire/SLI in the future.

Now please beaware that Intel and AMD are releasing new processors. This makes it a badish time to buy a new computer but it shouldn't matter too much.

*EDIT delete*

Hope that helps.

You haven't given us your budget, so that makes it very difficult to suggest components.

Mobo : The Asus board that Punk linked looks good enough. Much more featured than that Intel one at a better price point. I don't have a particularly bad experience with Intel Mobos, but most people here will tell you that they're crap.

Much Faster RAM : $97 G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB)

HDD : $55 SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3

PSU : $45 OCZ Fatal1ty 550W

GPU : $230 EVGA GTX 460 - comes with free Metro 2033.

Technically, you won't need any case fans whatsoever, but they won't hurt either. This - COOLER MASTER HAF 912 - should be good enough for all your needs. It comes with 3 fans as standard and you wont have to worry 'bout buying any more. And don't waste your money on any aftermarket cooler either. When you'll need one, you'll know it.

Go with the GTX 460 (I have the EVGA 1GB model, non-overclocked). You'll be ridiculously happy with it. Check the combo deals for the video cards; you'll get Just Cause 2 from Newegg and Metro 2033 from EVGA. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

I agree with everything calhunkguy has posted.
