Looks like a very nice system. If you are getting pc4000 I would imagine you are going to be overclocking, so maybe a good hs/fan like a Zaleman? make sure you have an SATA too. From the looks of things I can't see how there would be any conflicts

What kind of PSU is in that case? You might want to consider a name-brand power supply unit if it's not one of the respected brands. Enermax, Antec and Sparkle Power have pretty good reputations and are easy to find. You might also consider an Antec Sonata, with the strong TruePower380 PSU, a 120mm cooling fan, and pretty quiet acoustics (great for a dorm situation).

Your CD-RW is a pretty slow unit by today's standards, so if you use it frequently, you might consider the Mitsumi or Lite-On 52x burners, they don't cost much.
