Firstly, its in the wrong section, but i'm sure it'll get moved... Looks like you've got essentials there, other stuff you'll need: Case fans. CPU cooler. IDE Cables (one for the HDD and one for the CD/RW drive) Keyboard and Mouse.
Well keyboard and mouse, duh, im not THAT noobish and i don't know if you checked the case, but im pretty sure it has 2/3 fans built in otherwise thanks
Keyboard and mouse are quite important, pick the wrong ones and you'll regret it. For mouse I'd pick something like a Logitech MX500 (my personal favourite) And for keyboard, Logitech again
Missing another obvious thingy ..... Moan-itor. Personally this is something I would not cut corners on .... as its a Human Computer Interface and you only have a single pair of eyes.
