That looks like a pretty good list of parts. I'd check the NCIX sales page for prices and Memory Express and price match between the two. I know NCIX will put it together and test it for you for about $50 and give a years guarantee. Memory express should do the same and you won't have to worry about shipping. I'm not up on the latest video cards so someone else will have to give you advice there. For a motherboard also look at the P8Z68 versions. They are a bit of an upgrade.

For price matching look at shopbot and pricebat. A few dollars here and there can add up.

Get windows 7 and I wouldn't be too adamant about following that list. Look for comparable parts that are on sale and look for reviews.
