I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.
Also I'm putting in a TV-tuner, and an 80GB HDD which I already own. (HDD has Windows XP Media Center 2005 already on it.)
I also own 2GB DDR PC2-5300 Ram that will be going into it.
changed GPU to an 8800GT, thx for the recommendations.

Don't use that Apevia PSU. Their power supplies are questionable in quality, with overstated ratings (peak output instead of sustained). They don't hold voltages steady, and you can't be sure how well it will protect your components against shorts. And it uses two teeny weeny 80mm high-speed whiny fans.
Get a high-quality unit, one of the 80-Plus-Certified PSUs.
All of the parts you chose draw VERY little power. The CPU draws 65W max, the 8600GT 50 watts max, rest of system 80 watts. You can run that puppy on just a 300W PSU. I'm running a similar config to yours on a Seasonic S12-360W PSU.
I recommend this high-quality 80-Plus-Certified unit for your system: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151032
