Im currently working on researching and buying the parts for my first computer build. Im buying it for some school work but mainly for playing WoW and some fps like Crysis. I'm running on a $500-600 budget. These are the parts that I have picked out to order for my build assuming i will be able to get them and put together right away. If you guys could suggest anything else I will need or would make a significant upgrade please help me out.

You haven't included a video card, if you're expecting to use the motherboard's integrated graphics for Crysis, then forget it. You need something much more powerful.
You've also chosen a pretty poor PSU.
Get this PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003
and this video card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121251
This is the minimum GPU I would recommend for playing Crysis. If you can spare more, get an 8800GT, or better yet, an HD4850.

Nice cooler, but after a spate of bad products, I'm not so fond of EVGA. That card is also out of stock anyway.
