First and foremost, if this is your first build, find a friend that knows how to do it (some one that can come to your house) to help walk you through it and can help you troubleshoot it. (Thinks back to Venom's box and all of the long nights till 2 30 am).
Second, and most will echo me on this, Get a decent, well known PSU. The ones that come with cases are almost always garbage and not worth getting. They will have low efficiency and a higher probability of going bad than a brand such as Corsair or Antec. A PSU going bad is the worst piece of hardware that can go bad. Trust me, when if your whole box ever gets friend because of your PSU, you'll feel the same way, haha.
Other than that, the build looks alright. I would also suggest 4 Gigs of ram, since ram is cheaper than dirt it seems. (2x2gig sticks) Trust me, with Vista, and upcoming games, you'll use all of that. And with that you'll need to go with the 64 bit version of Vista.
I also encourage you to look into the 4870s. They absolutely blow the competition away right now in terms of price/performance ratio. They are a little bit more than what you got, but you'll get more use out of it before it becomes obsolete.
