Talking My new Gaming PC Tower with Blu-ray burning capabilties! (Main goal.)

So one of my friends was letting me borrow his copy of WOLFENSTEIN for PC since I also have Wolfenstein 3D and Return to Castle Wolfenstein on my current tower. Not even wasting time I immediately entered the game on the default graphics settings. Oh damn the framerate really dropped very low among other things on my $300 HP/Compaq tower which I bought when Circuit City was going out of business.
The above was the final catalyst for actually going forward with buying a completely new computer after holding off for so long. So with NewEgg and with the advice of various including forums I'm finally going through with this.
Previously I mostly got pre-built computers but this time I figure might as well go with building my own. Here's what I'll be getting.

Tower * - $64.94
Motherboard * - Birthday Present
CPU * - $204.05 (includes tax)
PSU * - $68.19
GPU
RAM * - $64.05 (includes tax)
HDD *1 - $53.61
Blu-ray disc burner
Monitor

Total so far - $454.84

Accessories/Extra bits:
USB 3.0 3.5" Enclosure
Keyboard
Mouse
IEEE-1394 FireWire iLink DV Cable 6P-4P M/M - 15ft (BLACK) * $7.84
15ft USB 2.0 A Male to A Male 28/24AWG Cable (Gold Plated) * $5.03

Grand totale - $467.71

Thing is I'd also like to get more fans for the case and more heatsinks for the cards so it'll run more cool. This is my first time putting together an entirely new computer part by part.
Should I also post a list of games I'm planning to play, purchase and Steam for this in a future post?

EDIT: Of course I'm also wanting to get a new monitor, keyboard and mouse eventually.
