You're missing more than mobo / cpu / ram.

What about a case? Videocard? Optical Disc Drive?

Also, what connection type is your existing hard drive? If it's PATA (often referred to as IDE) then you'll want to replace it for a faster SATA drive. Hard drives are still the biggest bottleneck in most PC's, there's no point in building an i5 system with a slow HDD.

Have you sorted out an operating system as well?
