Are these all of the main components (link in details) I would need to build this computer?

Answers:
I'm impressed with this build, not much I didn't like, the HDD alone is a great price (350 Gb/with case) I wasn't real familiar with the mobo but it looked like a good system, you might want to spend a little extra for an ASUS mobo with the money your saving and maybe a bigger CPU but that's just me this system would be great as is. your motherboard is your foundation on which you can upgrade later on if you want to down the road so keep an eye on what you get there. Your cooling should be fine as long as you get the fan/heatsink with the CPU. If not they are cheap enough.
Your CPU will most likely come with a heatsink and fan
Plus your case will have fans aswell
You may want to grab a case that has some nifty cooling included and I would suggest a case with enough room if you decide to swap out the video card or add something else.
i do not know a whole lot about motherboards the ram is OK if your running XP but if your running vista get 2GB of ram but I suggest XP anyhow even more so for gamers.
The processor is great but you could go better but most if not all recent games will run good on that one.
The video card is a tad weak but should run most if not all recent games. More demanding recent games will lag if you crank up the stats for sure with that card.
Your going to want to get a better power supply. Why? Because if your going to update your system or change your mind and grab an other video card your going to want to have a better PSU so you do not half to replace that later. I suggest 600 + Watt. 700 to 750 will be enough for almost any setup but that 400 watt is lacking. And a 700-750 watt PSU will not be much more money.
I do not know a whole lot about sound cards so I will forget I even saw that. Same with CD/DVD drives. I only know you should have ones that can burn DVDS.
The hard drives standard and seems great you could get one with more storage but 320GB is enough for most people.
Again back to your video card I highly suggest ATI cards for the reason that they are much more stable. Yes the latest geforce are better in terms of power but that card is not one of the latest geforce anyhow so the card I would suggest the very most is the EAX1950pro. Its very stable running 10C lower then other cards in its range in terms of heat and its much better then the geforce card you selected. Now its a fairly long card but finding a case to fit is should not be hard because the latest geforce cards are even longer. Its all around stable and one of the best ATI cards on the market and its fairly cheap but overall more expensive then the 7600.
I use the EAX1950pro and it can handle games like Elder scrolls 4 on medium/high settings and still maintain good game play. Out of all 5 video cards I have used 3 cards being geforce and 1 other ATI its by far the best I have used in both power and stability. You may need to budget yourself more but its best to spend more now instead of upgrading down the road.
Now the EAX1950pro does not support DX10 but nether does the 7600.
Thanks I hope any of this could help you. You know your case is good when it has fans in weird places and everyone is drolling over the case.
