That corsair power supply is plenty.
Wont need any extra fans, however i highly recommend an aftermarket heatsink for cpu, this is one of the better budget ones:

Yes, AM2/AM2+/AM3 sockets use a standardized mount system.
If you want a little flasher case, I've used about 20 of this things and there good cases with nice airflow. Later you can add a 120 front if you want.

Comes stock with a 120 back and 120 side fan. Has a place to add a 120 front.

Pretty decent cases as well.
With those cases i recommend taking the 120mm off the side and moving it to the front for a better front->back airflow.

Relatively Speaking, yes. ATX Cases are designed for a front to back airflow

Whoa, 10 pages on a computer upgrade
Anyways, yeah, as long as you don't have any other IDE devices using up the only IDE slot on the MOBO, it should work.Stoic Sentinel

I'll try to explain it in quotes.
You ODD is an IDE model.
Your motherboard only has 1 IDE channel, or slot.
So the conclusion is that unless you have another IDE device (e.g. an IDE hard drive, you'd have to try to find a SATA DVD writer or a SATA HDD.) *But after looking through your parts, you should be fine.*
