Default Budget Custom i5 Build

I will be building my first computer, and would like a little help. I've chosen the majority of the components, but suggestions would be welcome. Basically, I just want to make sure everything is compatible with one another. If any of the components could be substituted for a cheaper alternative with similar performance and reliability, I would be happy to hear what you have to say. I would like mild overclocking to be possible while staying cool and stable. Anyway, here's my setup thus far:

CPU
Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115215

Motherboard
ASUS P7P55D EVO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL - Retail

HDD

Optical Drive

CPU Heatsink

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121320

Power Supply
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7 - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341016

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156237

Monitor
Acer X193W+BD Black 19" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2000:1 (ACM) - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009127

Thermal Compound
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-007-_-Product


Two things I'm unsure about are the power supply and the motherboard/case. I'm not sure how to properly pick a power supply, and it seems from the picures that the motherboard plugs do not properly match up with the back of the case (or any case I've seen for that matter). Also, let me know if I'm missing any equipment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
