1) The parts are compatible.

2) You are missing a DVD or Bluray drive. SSD is not really needed but it does make boots and response time faster.
If you don't already have it, remember to get 64-bit Windows 7. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit is between $80-$100.

3) Yes, you need an aftermarker HSF for overclocking, and it will anyway make your computer run cooler and quieter.

You really should be getting a SataIII SSD. OCZ Vertex 3 or Crucial M4 for example.
And I would recommend getting 1.5V CAS9 1600Mhz memory instead, very little difference in price and offers the best bang for buck performance.
