No.
Get a 512MB 8800GT instead of a 256 8800GTS, seeing that the 9 Series is coming out.
Also, bigger HDD (500GB Recommended), you don't need to spend that much on a PSU. A 500W PSU will do.

HDD is fine, not everyone needs 500 gigs xdev. I only have 80 gigs on my laptop atm, and it's working out just fine.
If you want the best there is, you should go for the 512MB 8800GT indeed, or just wait for the 9 series (a couple of months?). I recommend waiting.
I also don't think you need a cooler for your HDD.

I probably will wait for the 9 series because i wont even be getting it until summer time. And I'd rather spend the money on a HDD cooler just to be safe.

Well, if you fap as much as I do, then you are going to need those extra GBs.

Extra GBs for porn is what he means, fap is a sexual term, Google it.

Empty quoting isn't necessary, you could have Googled it just as well.

The RAM and processor are good/up to date. If you want to push it even farther (Not have to buy another computer for a while) you can buy a Quad core processor  . But yeah that 4GB ram and 2.4 duo core will be enough for a lot of games.

WHoa, why is that HDD so expensive? Just get a 320GB SATA for about $90.
ALSO: Instead of the thermalke, get an Antec 900. Quite possibly the best quality gamer case out ATM. I see you have a mouse up there, what about a gaming keyboard?
ALSO: You can find warez on windows vista and save $300. PM me for the link, i'm not posting it here.
