First build next week - Is my component selection OK?

I'll be building a PC for the first time next week, and I'll be ordering the parts on Wednesday from scan.co.uk. Is my selection OK? I already have a few fans, some RAM, hard drives and optical drives.

Case: Antec 900

Mobo: Asus P5Q Deluxe

CPU: Q6600 G0 SLACR

HSF: Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme

Thermal paste: Arctic Cooling MX-2

GPU: Asus HD 4850

PSU: 650W Xigmatek NRP-MC651

Thanks guys!

Max

Change the motherboard to a P5Q-E or P5Q Pro, they are better value. An OCZ Vendetta 2 is gonna be cheaper and nearly as good as the Thermalright, plus you won't have to buy an extra fan. If you want the absolute best though, definitely go with the TRUE. Finally, get a Corsair HX520 if you want a modular power supply (most recommended option here) or a TX750.
