Kill the NIC, motherboard already has equivalent (two of them).
Drop the Physics card, 8800GTS has one built-in.
Buy some Arctic Silver 5 for heatsink.

Updated Wishlist: Wish list details

Build will work.

Don't buy yet. Give this thread 24 hours of recommendations first.
For the RAM, you might consider getting this: Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Memory

I'd say those parts, can get you a pretty decent overclock.

If you haven't ordered already, I've heard from Apokalipse, that this motherboard, gives excellent overclocks:

E4500 performs on par with E6400 which performs as good as 5200+ at stock speeds, but core 2 overclocks better

Newegg.com - ASUS P5K SE LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Allendale 2.2GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail


And don't waste your money on physics card, it would be better to get E6550 instead
