Yep, that is all fine.
Pretty good choices as well. Change the PSU for one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...corsair%20450w It is the best in it's class, despite it's lower rating. Maybe change the hard drive for a Western Digital, that is more personal preference though. Change to 4GB of RAM, it will change the performance on your PC massively. Doesn't get any cheaper than this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145184 Apart from that good.

I would be worried about the PSU's reliability first and foremost. If you can't find or if the Corsair 450 is too expensive, try one of Seasonic's models.
The 9600GT is pretty budget - you're better off saving a little money and grabbing at least a 4830. The motherboard is fine but don't expect much overclocking - P43 is a better choice if you plan to do that.

The Thermaltake is the best of all of them.
