1. Maybe get two of these for RAM:
Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400LLK - Retail

And I dont know too much about HDD sorry.

2. Yeah it really is that simple , and most CPU's came with a HSF unless it's OEM, and yes having 2 Hard Drives can be a bit faster.

3. No you don't need any thing else to hook up the compoents except some scews that should came with it and a Philleps screw driver.

Thanks man. I thought it was going to be way more complicated than this. I thought I had to buy and assemble some kind of crazy elaborate cooling system or something. This should about do it once I come up with an alternative for a hard drive. Now, I just need to pick out a monitor and speakers.
