Please don't get your parts from TigerDirect, get them from Newegg instead.
The case is okay, but don't get a Aspire power supply...they're rubbish. This thread has a list of good quality power supplies to choose from. The motherboard is fine but be sure that OCZ RAM is compatible with it. You really don't need the fan as the case already comes with some. The hard drive and optical drive are fine. If you're a gamer you may want to look for a better video card. If you're not a gamer then that video card is fine.  Cricket

newegg is known for its customer service and speed of delivery. If your even mildly worried about something being DOA out of the box, which happens, then I would also suggest buying from newegg

For a computer at home, XP Home OEM will do you just fine, it's around $90. If you need/want Pro, get XP Pro OEM for $140.
