I have recently been thinking on building a new computer and only know the essentials. I have gathered most of what I think would best fit my needs, and simply wanted to know if for one everything is compatible and two if I'm forgetting anything or need more of something. Thank you in adavance for any input you give me. :P

Case + Power Supply

Everything seems fine, I couldn't look at the power supply though. You will probably also wan't a DVD drive and mouse/keyboard/monitor/speakers.
 
 
You do know that the sound card isn't necessary as the MB has integrated sound that is fine for 95% of users. You don't want the triple channel memory - the MB is dual channel. Get two 2 GB sticks instead. And you might want a faster HDD like the WD Black or a Samsung F3 - Not much price difference. Everything else looks good. You'll like the 760 and the Antec Illusion is a nice little case.
 
If you can wait a few days (Oct 19th I think) then you should buy the AMD Radeon HD6770. That will be cheaper than GTX460 1GB and be faster (about as quick as HD 5850) While the 460 is a great card, the 6000 series mid range are gonna whump its ass
