Default Ready to build ... I think

Well after lots of advice on various, I mean this forum I have come up with what I think is a decent gaming computer for running "wow". This is what i have come up with:

Graphics card: XFX 8600GTS XXX version 256MB DDR3 DVI PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3GHz Socket 775 4MB Cache 1333MHz FSB Retail Boxed Processor - Ebuyer
Motherboard: ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP AiLifestyle Series P35 Socket 775 Socket eSATA 8 channel Audio ATX Motherboard - Ebuyer
HDD: Western Digital 250gb SATAii/150 7200RPM 16MB Cache - OEM - Ebuyer
Ram: Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-12) Heat Spreader Lifetime Warranty - Ebuyer
PSU: Enermax Liberty 500W Modular ATX2.2 PSU - Ebuyer
Case: Aspire X-Cruiser Black ATX Windowed Gaming Case - No PSU - Ebuyer
CD/DVD: NEC Optiarc AD-5170A-0B 18xDVD±RW DL Black - Bare Drive - Ebuyer

Now this will be my first build and hopefully it wont busrt into flames when I turn it on but to be on the safe side, is it all compatible still, and are there any potential problems with these choices??? Or do you all recon im ready to start ordering parts

If you were to get an 8800, I would suggest a power supply more in the 600-650W range. But other than that, you wouldn't need to change anything.
