There are a lot of things you need to check aside from the obvious stuff like buying the right kind of RAM and making sure your motherboard socket matches your CPU.
If you're buying optical drives and hard drives from newegg.com or similar sites, many of the drives they sell are "OEM". These won't come with the appropriate cables and your motherboard probably only includes one SATA and one IDE cable. So you may need to purchase extra cables.
Power supply. There's more to it than just wattage. Pay attention to the 12v rails. Cheaper power supplies especially may be rated for over 400W but have fewer than 20 amps on the 12v rail. Amps x volts = watts, and your 12v rails power the big stuff like your video card and CPU. Check on the manufacturer's site to find recommended amps for the product or just invest in a good quality PSU. A good quality PSU will usually have 2 or more 12v rails with 40+ amps devoted to them.
Power connectors. Check the motherboard for the main power connector as well as the CPU connector and make sure that your PSU has the right number of pins. Also, check the PSU for SATA power connectors. Purchase adapters as necessary.
Expensive video cards are often very long. Make sure that the case you're purchasing is large enough to fit the card. Also, check that the motherboard doesn't have anything crucial placed directly behind the PCI-E slots. Many motherboards, particularly microATX boards, place SATA connectors right behind the PCIE slot so that when you pop a card in there you block your SATA connections!
But otherwise your selections look good. The CPU is right for the mobo and the mobo is right for the case. Your PSU should be sufficient.
The stuff above is just the less obvious stuff that people tend not to think about. And that's what usually results in you having to wait an extra week for stupid things like cables or a different case.
