The only thing i would get you to think twice on is the operating system. Vista is not the best yet go with XP professional.

DO NOT get that motherboard - it's really terrible - it's not compatible with Vista (won't even install) and has horrendous stability problems.

You've also chosen a very poor quality power supply - these have a nasty habit of going bang and wrecking your system.

Get this motherboard instead:

and this PSU instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004

The sound card you've chosen is out of stock, how about:

the rest is alright, but I too would recommend using XP instead of Vista - much faster.
