I still need a power supply, but I'm not sure how much power I need. I'm planning on putting in a dedicated GPU at some point when my budget isn't so tight. For now I just need this baby to run (It's for my gf, so basically a facebook-machine. She wants to run some light gaming, and if she ever wants to do more than I'm hoping I could just upgrade the CPU/add a GPU later on) If I'm missing any parts please let me know. I've never built a computer before but I'm very interested in building one, so I'm hoping this project will be successful.

Wow, thank you so much! I feel embarrassed for even posting my noobish build, though I am very pleased with this. I do live in Canada, however, so it'll be slightly more expensive, but I can perhaps squeeze out a little more money for it, since it truly seems worth it.
