I'm putting everything in my shopping cart and I want to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. I'd hate to get my parts in and not be able to build the thing. Here's what's going in the cart:

AMD 3800 X2
eVGA 7800GT/939 Mobo combo
OCZ 2GB Dual Channel DDR400 RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210
Plextor 716A DVDR
SATA Hard Drive (still deciding on that one, but that'll be easy)

I already have a case and a sound card. I still need to pick out a power supply. Am I missing anything else? Do I need to get an aftermarket cooling solution for the processor, or is the stock cooling that comes with it fine?

Thanks a bunch for all the input thus far.

edit: fixed link.

First, that was a link to the memory. I didn't realize that I couldn't link directly to the opinions page. Here's the link directly to the item:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210

Second, if you re-read the post, you'll see that I said that I already had a case and that I hadn't picked out a power supply yet.

You'll need a floppy diskette drive if you plan on storing stuff on floppy disks...there anywhere from 7-20 bucks...you could get a aftermarket cooler for your cpu if you are planning on ocing but everything else is pretty good....o yeah get a good PSU like OCZ,Enermax,Seasonic,or Antec...and make sure the wattage is in the 500's

It's the same price as the regular TruePower 550W, so I figure why not? If I don't want to control the fan speed, I don't have to.

Dude learn to link correctly!!! That link there is for memory and you were talking about a PSU. I think you should go with the Antec Sonata II, comes with a PSU that is more then good enough for what you are running.

Ahem.

It's the True Control True Power II 550W. I didn't buy a new case because I already have one.

OK, forgiven....go with the Antec Sonata II, like I said you get a great case with a 480W True Power PSU for less then the cost of the PSU you are looking at.
