I didn't see any ram listed, so you can add about 40 to 50 dollars to your total. However, the cpu comes with a heatsink/fan, so you could eliminate the Zalman cooler. So the costs offset each other there.

I looked on Newegg and found several 9600GT video card for $99 after rebate. If you can swing the additional 10 bucks, that would be a tremendous improvement to your gaming expeience.

Otherwise, it looks good.

These suggestions may be a more wiser investment:

Hard drive:

Larger Cache, SATA connection and an extra 420GB for a few more dollars.

Graphics Card:

I'd get this one (if it fits into your case) for better performance, stability and value (free COD4).

I don't see a mouse in there.
