Red face first build help

Ok, my first build, I'm not a hardware guy, more of a software guy so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong
I'll be using vista business on this, I don't really play any games or do anything graphic intensive, so I'm not aiming for top of the line
Let me know if I made a mistake, if I'm missing something, and I plan on throwing a couple more case fans in. I also need to probably get a floppy drive for SATA drivers, dunno if I should go internal or external on that, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
hAvAAck

All looks good Havaak.

Checked around re the optical drive and it is ok with Vista, check with Newegg to be sure though.
