Just my own suggestion, but I would choose a different board rather then intel.
Intel boards are good, but they lack the extras and features you get from the big names.
Go with, Asus or Gigabyte. Only things I ever buy.
asus is my god.
gigabyte is good too though. gigabyte is generally cheaper but not as good as asus, but thats a small difference honestly, both are great companies. but if youre on a strict budget and dont need special features, go with cheapest board that fits your needs (as far as pcie slots youll need + 1, 4x ddr3, or ddr2 if youre using that, and cpu support for what you need), since honestly, if youre just slapping it together for general use, youll never notice anything but the price

Looking better.
Thing I would suggest myself cause I got quite the experience.

I would stay away from Western Digital, go get a seagate drive.
Also why ya getting a Firepro? Its a workstation card.
I'd say drop the sound card or invest more to get a Ati 6850 or Nvidia Gtx460.

Trust me it would benefit much more.

All I did was watch this tutorial. It's not as nearly as hard as it sounds, just think of building a PC is like putting together a puzzle/legos. The only trouble you'll have is hooking up the power button and audio/usb leds and stuff but...yeh. And that shit you linked to is overpriced as fuck.

How to build a PC

Holy shit that's simple! (at least, relatively)
