I figured it wouldn't hurt to quickly verify the compatibility of these parts and maybe see if anyone recommends something different.
I'll be ordering them once I get a break from school or something.
Anyway, here are the parts:

i5 2500k Intel CPU

(Newegg is out of stock for now, so if I order before they restock, I'll go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157265 )

8 GB of G.Skill Ripjaw Ram

500 GB WD Caviar Black Sata 3 hard drive

Cooler Master Storm Scout Tower and 700W PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119235&cm_re=Cooler_master_scout-_-11-119-235-_-Product

Asus DVD Burner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204&Tpk=Asus%20OEM%20DRW-24B1ST%20SATA%2024x%20DVD%20Burner

Asus 23" Widescreen Monitor

Asus Xonar Xense Headset + Sound card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132018&Tpk=Asus%20Xonar%20Xense

(Total comes to about $1460 if you're wondering)
My only concern is the PSU that comes with the case, it's not 80+ certified.
Also, if you want to recommend another part, it would be nice if it's red or black.
Thanks in advance. =3
 
Solution
I would avoid getting that tower with PSU from CM ( i guess)
get something more substantial for PSU
also if u plan sli in the future get 750+ PSU
also I strongly recommend picking up CPU cooler
