suggestions? anything i really need?

I have the same case, motherboard, monitor, video card (except mine is BFG), and the same power supply.

You'll love them.

Everything else looks good. One thing though, if you are going to be getting such a high end computer, why not go dual core?

Ditch that 3800+ and go with this:

OC's well and only a little more than that Venice. Also, you may want to consider going with 2 gigs of RAM. You could cut one of those DVD DL drives and either A. go with a single drive or B. get a CDRW. That would help finance the other parts a bit.

would i need to purchase another fan to cool the second core?

 

[EgyptBoy20]

Nope. Dual core is two cores on one physical chip.

 

[alkaline]

oh cool, i didnt know that

For the price of 2 74GB raptors I believe you can get the new Raptor 150 which is fast as hell.
