New Build (Too much?)

I'm thinking of starting a new build for someone. (This would be my first official build so let me know if anythings off.) The computer mainly used for the internet and a few other things. I feel like i might have gone a little overboard, but I don't want to have to replace the thing for... a while. This is what I have

Motherboard : Intel BOXDP55WB

Processor : Intel Core i3-560 Clarkdale 3.33GHz

PSU : Antec BP550 Plus 550W

Video : ASUS GeForce GT 430

Memory : Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB

Hard Drive : Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB 7200RPM

Let me know what you think.

I don't think you have gone overboard, it looks like a solid low end system. However I do recommend you change the motherboard to an Asus!

What do you think between THIS ASUS board and THIS INTEL board?
or just go for a completely different one?

Other then Tigerdirect and Newegg do you know of any good online computer part stores?

Only newegg.com, I wouldn't buy a set of shoe laces from Tigerdirect. I do not use Intel motherboards period so I cannot advice you on that, my answer will always be Asus! Maybe one of the experts here can elaborate on Intel motherboards.
