I'd make sure that the memory goes with the Mobo. Some mobos can't use PC4200, type RAM. And I dunno why you'd spend that much on the vid card; I didn't spend THAT much on mine.
The Power Supply looks good, though I'd go with 600 watt personally. Good call on the CPU.
I'd have to actually look at the parts you have listed there on Newegg, but at the moment it doesn't look too bad. Only questionable thing is the vid card considering it's only 40 megs, even if a 8800GTS.

Here's the curernt layout of my rig, soon to change:
Motherboard: ACPI x86
Video card: nVidia GeForce 6150 LE with 512 DDR2 ( soon to be an nVidia GeForce 7900 )
HD: Stock HP 350 gig 7200 rpm
Monitor: Magview 19" flatpanel
Keyboard: G-15 gaming keyboard
Mouse: Kensington Optical Gaming Mouse
CPU: Dual AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4200+
CD Drive: LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive / CD-writer. I loooove this thing.
RAM: 1 gig DDR2, though Vista seems to like using 200MB of it, so a 2 gig DDR2 chip goes in soon.
Comes complete with 7 USB2 slots and 2 Firewire ports. Currently running the net through a Belkin wireless PCI card. Speed's not bad, but nothing to write home about.
Tis not much of a beast, but it does it's job.
One fact though... it's running Vista Premium. Has it's faults, bugs, etc, but the latest updates have helped ALOT. And once you disable the Use Account settings, you don't get that annoying "APPROVE/DENY" crap everytime you go to run something.
And his name's Ajax. HAMMER TIME!
It's best to watch a furball collapse, analyzing the movements of the enemy. Watch how they maneuver, when they fire, how they break. Visualize your own attacks against those observations, then go in for the kill. Sometimes, though, you don't get that advantage. It's at these times where you go in guns blazing, but keep your head on a swivel.

It has it's faults, like i said, but it runs a bit smother than the XP pro SP2 i was using on my other computer. adding the 2 gig ram chip ought to boost it up well past where it needs to be.
