    Well generally the PSU's supplied with cases are not great (i.e. high wattage)
    So if you're planning on installing decent graphics card and/or overclocking your CPU then buy a seperate PSU.

    Checkout Komplett for PSU's, 550Watt PSU ~= €120+

    buy the psu seperate... the ones that are included in cases are usually not that good and you will need more power than what they can provide

    Psycopat: for fans, read sionnach's sticky at the top of this forum.
    That's a solid spec. RAM is a bog standard but I doubt it will present issues with the motherboard. Just don't expect it to overclock by more than a few Mhz. It can always be swapped out later.
    I don't know what that case is like, but a few quid on the case will go a hell of a long way, especially if you intend hanging on to it for a year or two.
