The only problem I have with your list of parts is the Delta CD-Rom. We used to sell them and they had a high failure rate.

Do yourself a favor and get a 7,200 rpm drive as opposed to the 5,400 drive,the speed increase is quite noticeable and the two are priced about the same.

Watch out for the shipping charges on those really cheap prices and you may be better off buying more items from one or two vendors. Stick with quality brands also as you'll know the warranty is good, Delta CD not so good and who makes that video card? My favorite vendors are Mwave and Allstarshop as they stand behind their products with good customer service and decent prices.

Krono,
Take Smoke's advice and be careful of vendors that advertise prices lower than anybody else. First, they don't stock anything. They order the part when you order it from them. Second, they rip you on shipping. Third, try to return something to them if you have a problem! Trust me, these vendors can really ruin your day. Do yourself a favor and order only from a reputable online merchant. I like www.mwave.com but there are many others.
