Question Building computer...

Hey guys, this is my first post on here, and I just had a couple of questions. First of all, I've never built my own computer, but I have a pretty good understanding on where everything gets connected and so forth.

My question is on the components that I picked - will they all work together?

Here's the rough list I put together from tigerdirect.com. I'm looking to spend no more than $900 on the system, and $100 for the OS (WinXP,OEM). If you have a suggestion on something I should do differently, please let me know! I plan on using the computer for games and video editing.

H14-1004 :: High Power ATX Mid-Tower with 420Watt Dual Fan Power Supply, Front USB, Firewire and Audio Ports $69.99

MBM-P4P800-3000NC :: Asus P4P800 Deluxe Socket 478 Motherboard with Pentium4 3.0 GHz 800MHz Processor $374.99

K24-4906 :: Kingston 512MB Non-ECC, CL3 PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory $99.99

P450-8503 :: XFX nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Video Card / 256MB DDR / AGP 8X / TV Out & DVI $94.99

S167-3240 :: Sony DRU530A DVD Burner / 8x4x12x DVD+RW / 4x2x12x DVD-RW / 40x24x40x CD-RW / Dual Format $146.99

THD-1200AA P :: Seagate 120GB / 7200 / 2MB / ATA-100 EIDE Hard Drive $99.99

M17-7500 :: Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition OEM Version $99.99


Thanks! Any help is appreciated!
