is there anything I should add to this list. I'm gonna be building a new pc as soon as the new Intel Core 2 E8000 comes out.

===========================================
PSU
OCZ 600W StealthXStream PSU - £46.94
Processor
Intel E8400 ~£130
Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Socket 775 Motherboard - £102.17
Case
Thermaltake Soprano - Black, Window Side Panel - £47.88
GFX
Asus Extreme 8800GTS 512MB PCI-E - £203.22
HDD
500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA2 32MB ST3500320AS 7200RPM - £70.79
DVD Drives
LG GSA-H66NBAL 20x DVDRW/RAM Black (SATA) - £17.10
NEC Optiarc AD-7191S 20x Internal DVDRW Lightscribe Black(SATA)- £20.50

Peripherals
Razer Copperhead Blue Mouse - £33.78
Logitech Media Elite Keyboard~ £16.00
Logitech X-530 - £44.23
22" Hyundai N220W-D Widescreen TFT 5ms - £167.97

and RAM I have two choices:

OCZ 2GB PC2-8500 nVIDIA SLI Ready (2x1GB) - £78.67 (https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR2/DDR2+1100+%28PC8800%29/OCZ+2GB+PC2-8500+nVIDIA+SLI+Ready+%282x1GB%29+?productId=26601 )
OCZ 2GB PC2-6400 nVIDIA SLI Ready (2x1GB) - £46.82 (https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR2/DDR2+800+%28PC6400%29/OCZ+2GB+PC2-6400+nVIDIA+SLI+Ready+%282x1GB%29+?productId=26805 )

So is the extra £30 worth it for more Mhz or should I buy 4 GB of the cheaper one? Planning to do a bit of overclocking once I get the hang of my PC (when I can be bothered learning :P)
Also am I missing anything?

Go for 4gb memory 800 speed, its a great price

https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR2/DDR2+800+%28PC6400%29/OCZ+4GB+PC2-6400+Vista+Performance+Gold+%282x2GB%29+?productId =29106

leaves you open to fit x2 more 2gb stick to go 8gb in the future.

Some great components there. Only other thing I would change is the LG drive to the Samsung,

Its regarded as the best drive in the industry
