Looks like you're on the right track - and congrats on your first build.

I HIGHLY suggest you spend an hour of two on Tom's Hardware to get some component information. That said, the individual components look pretty solid (nice work). Particularly the Vid Card.....FANTASTIC card at an incredible pricepoint.

The one thing that I do question......why Windows Ultimate? I'd think you should save a few beans (put them towards a larger case?) and get Professional. The only real difference is BitLocker and a crapload of language support. Unless you've got a ton of illegal material that needs to be secured in Punjab, I can't see a need for Ultimate.
