I am building my own PC but I was just wondering if I am missing anything.

You can see all the parts Here. After GPU/PSU Combo, CPU/Mobo Combo, $20 coupon, buying some parts in that wishlist from Amazon (no tax, free shipping). The total is $1468

I already have 2x 22" Monitors and a decent keyboard/mouse. Is there anything else I need to add? Anything I need to change?

I plan to use this build mostly for multimedia. I MAY plan to game but I am not an extreme gamer so at the moment, these specs are fine. A concern I have is having 4x 2Gb Memory Sticks. Perhaps I need 2x 4Gb?
 





I am buying a new desktop soon and I plan to buy the same graphics card as you..

I am going for the i7 930 though, because I never liked amd. by the way, nice price for the build. i might consider buying the parts online, rather than locally for my build.

You can find nice heatsinks at frozencpu.

Might want to check out thermaltake cases.

I didn't see any I liked on FrozenCPU but between http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100008000%20600035437%20600035364&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&CompareItemList=574|35-154-013^35-154-013-TS,35-154-009^35-154-009-TS , which one is better and are they both compatible with my Socket AM3?

I'll let you know how the GPU is :)
 
I have changed the items on my wishlist!

Changed 1055T with a 1090T so i can OC easier.
Changed CPU Cooler to one actually compatible with my mobo.

Total cost is now $1585.
 
List looks good to me. With regards to the RAM though, it all depends on if you think you may possibly upgrade in the future. If you go with four 2GB sticks now, you'll have to replace at least two of them for more RAM. If you go for the two 4GB sticks now, you have some room to move, although your upfront costs may be a little higher. I've found that 4GB sticks are about double the price of 2GB sticks recently though, so it may come out to around the same cost.

Well I told myself that i would either fork over an extra $100 and upgrade to a 1090T or I would get 2x 4Gb sticks. I got the CPU instead since it's performance is more noticeable than the ram.

Well, the RAM definitely wouldn't be noticeable to you. Whatever kit you go with, you'll end up with 8GB. The CPU might be a little noticeable, but going from a quad-core to a hex-core (assuming the same clock speeds) won't be noticeable without something to actually push that many cores. Not too many things can do that, but the big ones I know about are video encoding and raytracing. I don't suppose you're doing either, are you? :p
 
BOUGHT all the items in my wishlist :) Total after tax/shipping/coupon = $1611.
