was looking to add the dell 2209WA monitor and a sunbeam core contact freezer cooler.

are these decent choices, are there any obvious problems?

Looks fine to me, I would probably change the seagate drive for a WD or Samsung, Seagate have had some serious problems with those drives recently so I wouldnt get one. Id probably also get two of the fans for the antec 300 case, theres lots of room for extra fans and more cooling is always a good thing.
