Should I get Custom Built, Do my First Build, or go through Dell?

Muffin man's build looks good out of those, but it looks like he went slightly over budget as that build didn't include an OS.
 
nope, nothing else would be needed. you should be good to go :)

screws will come with the case, that mobo will come with 4 sata cables to hook up drives to it, and power cables will be supplied by the psu (ofcourse).
 
Good to know Muffin Man, thanks again. :)

VishKapish, I only list the cooler because in one of the user reviews I read on the i5 he said "Cons: The stock cooler sucks. Get an aftermarket cooler even if you do not overclock."
Who knows, maybe down the line I would overclock it. I suppose for $35 it's better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks for taking the time to look up those components for me. I'll check those out too before deciding.
When you say "the performance increase you'd get from the i5 is slight and doesn't (in my opinion) warrant its purchase", are you still talking about the cooler?
