and i hope to play all the new and upcoming games with it on full everythin, will i be able to??? also i plan to oc the processor. if its allll good i plan to order it tonight!
 
Corsair XMS is a waste of money. If you are overclocking get some good Crucial Ballistix (PC4000), if not get some of that value RAM G.Skill now offers.

Video card. Leadtek? Ugh. eVGA for the win!

Processor. I'm guessing you know about dual-core, and made your choice accordingly so I'm not going to touch this.

Other than these points, looks good.
 
One change I would make is switching the processor from the 4000+ clawhammer core to the 4000+ San Diego core. It's cheaper, with a better mem controller, sse3 support, 90nm, and will overclock better. It's a win win situation!

The switch from leadtek to eVGA will also be good if you decide to overclock, as the lifetime warranty (which covers aftermarket hsfs) will come in handy if anything goes wrong.
 
Hay thanks for the suggestion, i switched to the eVGA 256-P2-N529-AX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB, also the reason i got that ram was because i got it discounted because of the processor i am going to get.

Just to warn you, if you go with the better core San Diego, the same discount still applies to that 2 gig set of Corsair.
