Help me Build my new Pentium

Please someone help me out, and Critique what I have chosen?

I have chosen:

CPU:
P4 2.8 (800FSB)

Case: I love my friends' XaserII
XaserIII Lanfire

MB:I don't know which to choose:
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe - Anandtech liked this one
MSI 865 Neo2 FIS2R - Another place liked this one better

Video:Is there a better one in the same category? Should I go with a $40 cheaper Ti4200?
I need the best I can afford for MMO Gaming!
MSI FX5600-vtd256

DVD-RW:
SONY DRU510
Gonna Do some DVD-recording!

Harddrives: My newest 250Gb is 75% full of DV
WD 80Gb 8mb cashe
WD 250Gb 8mb Cashe
-----
With these things in mind, what should I pick for:
-----
Memory (pc3200): I was wondering if the 500mhz memory will work on my MB that I have chosen
Power Supply: I want Quiet, but I can't tell if the case I have chosen is compatable with ThermalTake's other PS's.
CPU Cooling: ThermalTake's Volcano9 is Horribly loud and for AMD's. Is the Spark line any better?


Can some one help me finish up this project?

-Mike

P.S.-
No suggesting things that cost 2x the price of the things listed i.e I can't afford a P4 3.2 or a Fx5900 Video card
But I'd like to know if there are flaws with things I have chosen, Or better choices.
