hey people i'm new to this forum! 
i have recently took it upon myself to build a computer as my current one (compaq presario sr1909uk upgraded with 3.5gb of ram and vista ultimate) is starting to annoy me
i mostly just go on forums and do coursework etc (i only play games on my xbox 360) so i'm mainly after something that looks cool, runs sufficiently quick and that i can use as a learning curve by modding and adding to in the future
so far i have
4gb ddr2 RAM
500gb hdd
80gb hdd
Club 3d Nvidia 7600 graphics card
19" tft monitor + 32" tv (will be connected to both)
and i have ordered
processor

case and power unit

and i have bought a Gigabyte S series ga-m55s-s3 (no link, find it yourself! lol)
i will be using the mouse, keyboard and dvd drive from my current pc.
so....... what else will i need?? i'm just making a checklist basically to make sure i have everything covered!
also my processor does not come with a heatsink and fan so i was wondering if anyone could recommend one that would be sufficient for my setup that is not too expensive!
thanks in advance!
