Ok, I'm working on getting together a list of parts for my first solo computer build, i have pretty much a complete list and was hoping some of you could check it over to see if i can make it better, how well performance will be, whether the parts are compatible. Thanks for your time and effort in advance.
Here is what i have so far:

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 2.7Ghz Processor
GlacialTech Socket 775 95W CPU Cooler
