Default OT: Building a new computer...

Ok, so I'm building a new computer. I've got most of it down, I think. Care to look at what I have so far and critique and offer suggestions?

Motherboard: ASUS P5LD2 R2.0 LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX
Price: $84.99

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz LGA 775
Price: $279.99

Power Supply: Thermaltake Purepower W0129RU ATX12V 600W
Price: 104.99
Notes: I am not set in stone with this unit. Probably only need a 400W supply anyways. Would prefer to stick with Thermaltake as the brand. Any recommendations? Connectors will need to power SATA drives preferably...

Memory: Kingston 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM 800 (PC2 6400) -- x2
Price: $57.99ea/$115.98 total.

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda ES 320GB 7200RPM
Price: $94.99

Still need: Video card, DVD/CD burner and case.

Any suggestions on how to make this better? I'm trying to keep everything under $900-$1000.00. Again, not everything is set in stone, this is just a starting point. Keep in mind I'm trying to go with SATA on the drives and such.
