I need help with my computer build please.
I already flew over my budget, which was $1,200 (not including the case)
$230 (CPU) : [www.microcenter.com]
$160 (Case): [www.newegg.com]
$300 (GPU): [www.newegg.com]
$180 (RAM) [www.newegg.com]
$285 (MOBO) [www.newegg.com]
$90 (HDD x2) [www.newegg.com]
$150 (PSU) [www.newegg.com]
$90 (BLU) [www.newegg.com]
What am I missing (cables, thermal paste, heatsink, etc) and are all my parts compatible? You know, in case I missed something. Also, I'm open to recommendations, except with the case since I already bought it).
I need to know which cables to get since some parts are OEM, and what other things I might need.

You might want to include a picture of the list, the links didn't work.

You're on a budget, I highly suggest that you go over the stuffs you have and get something cheaper as a alternative.

Core i7 920 - $200 ( MicroCenter B&M pricing)
Asus P6X58D Premium - $310 (may want to swap out for a $200 X58 board)
Cooler Master RC-690 - $70 (cheap and effective; HAF 922 is not a bad choice either)
XFX HD5850 - $300 (XFX, HIS, PowerColor > Sapphire; this or wait until GT300 coming up in the next months)
Corsair CMPSU-650TX - $80 (offers more than enough voltage and is much cheaper)
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB - $90 (fastest 7200RPM HDD, even faster than the VelociRaptor in transfer speed)
G.Skill RipJaws 4GB DDR3-1600 - $105 (would've went triple channel, but most 6GB kits are overpriced)
Throw in a $25 DVD burner.
$1180 subtotal
Up to $100-$175 savings with cheaper parts (motherboard and GPU, assuming that Fermi will drive down the HD5850).
Also, if you're only going to game with this, using a Core i5 750 or a Phenom II X4 solution would cut costs considerably at little to no performance loss.

You do realize that unlocking a processor's extra two cores is a bit of a gamble, right?
