Building a new PC!

Hey everybody, I just recently decided that I am going to build a pc because my old one is four years old and would be too expensive for me to upgrade it. I am a graphic designer/gamer graduating high school this year and I was looking for something that I can use for work and games. I picked out these parts to include in the build but I'm not as computer savvy as most of the people on this forum. Can somebody please help me out and let me know if these parts will fit in the case I picked and if they were a good choice. My budget is fairly small if you can't tell. Thanks in advanced!

where is your disk drive? sound card?

The hard drive is the first link, and he doesn't need a sound card if he doesn't want one.

Also, that power supply looks very weak with only 18 amps on the 12v rail. Take a look at the Power supply recommendation list on this forum.
 
I'm not getting a sound card just yet. I have a disc drive aswell.

Thanks I will take a look at the power supplies.

My budget is in the $300 area.

I want to stick with AMD cpu because I'm more familiar with them.

Does everything fit fine, how did I do?

I am not sure about AMD warranty policy, but the OEM version of AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Brisbane is actually at same price. Since you are buying aftermarket heatsink, it seems perfer for you.
