Well i used the compat list to put this together.... I have a few questions though. If someone would help thats be awsome, thanks!
1. Will an Apple CInema Display work on this because thats the only monitor i have. Its the 20" with the Male DVI End.
2. Are my parts all compatible?
3. Can i upgrade a processor? Like when i get the cash get an i7 and upgrade? Or should i do an i7 from the beggining?

Here are my parts, cheers.

1. Should be fine
2. The DVD drive you chose might prevent auto-sleep from working.
3. Yes you can upgrade

I would suggest looking at an aftermarket cooler as the stock coolers are noisy.

Do not wait on the heatsink, but it now. Removing the stock heatsink is a nightmare. You don't have to spend a lot to get good cooling. You can either get the Cooler Master 212+ for $30 or the Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B for $40.
