I would get
This Samsung DVD Drive
Xigmatek Midgard & Xigmatek NRP 651
Western Digital 640gb AAkS
the Same Asus Monitor
Mushkin XP DDR3 1600mhz Cas 7 2x2gb (These work really well on AM3 systems)
AMD Phenom II x4 965BE (the same CPU)
Foxconn A7DA-S OR Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD3R


But wait on a Video Card till the Radeon HD5000 series comes out.

Should I wait to buy a 5000 series? I heard people say the first of the video cards usually suck and are over priced, is this true?

I Would most certainly wait until the next line of video cards come out, due to the soon release of DX11, and DX11 capable cards. It'd just be a good idea to wait a few months.
