Everything is compatible although I might either go for a lower CPU in the range and clock it up or make the step to quad core already. Are you meant to have a CPU cooler in there other than retail? Just because you have the AS5 and since the retail cooler comes with thermal paste pre-applied it might be a bit redundant.
I'd probably change the hard drive to an AAKS model, should be a bit faster and realistically the additional MTBF of the YS models is of negligible import for most.
Finally do you really need Vista Ultimate? Vista Premium would save a bit of cash and does for most.

All looks good now although you could still save about £15 by not going for the Superclocked 8800GT but it isn't a huge deal, hope the build goes smoothly.
