All my parts are on the way, after like 3 weeks of shopping around.

Case: Antec Nine Hundred
PSU: Antec NeoPower 650W
CPU: Intel E8400
MOBO: Asus P5Q Pro
HSF: Xigmatek HDT-S1283 120mm, with I7751 retention bracket
GPU: EVGA Gtx 260
DVD: Lite-On 20x DVDR Sata model
HD: WD3200AAKS 320gb
RAM: Corsair 2x2gb DDR2 800
Monitor: Acer x223Wbd 22" LCD
Mouse: Logitech MX518 8 button optical
Keyboard: Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

Final price after rebates, $970. How'd I do? I haven't built a computer in 10 years, so I'm kind of nervous. I've never overclocked before either... any tips on not breaking this when setting it up?

overall you did amazing. the E8400 is a beast good mobo, great case and good video card. my only concern might be the power supply but then again none of those parts are too power hungry and even then it would likely be fine. id say you should be a pretty happy guy. my e8500 and asus p5q-e should get her in a hour or so....
