shouldnt be any compatibility issues, although PNY has been known to do odd things. (nm, that ram will be an issue, kill it) while you probably made your selections based on your budget, in case you did not:
if you wish to keep your case through a major upgrade later, bump up the power supply to 400 or higher. a 350 probably wont cut it in a couple years, and its a bit of an overkill for this configuration.
ibm is good for hard drives, but western digital is also good, and usually cheaper. but thats not significant.
that motherboard is a waste with that cpu and ram. in fact, i dont think that ram will run on that motherboard. get that ram to ddr300 or more. (check to see if you need 2 dimms, and see if kingston or samsung are decently priced) and preferably get a 2700+ cpu. you can dump the soundcard, the motherboard has build in sound thats much better. the gf4mx line is comparable to a high gf2 or low gf3, and isnt a good choice if youre a gamer. youll be better served with a ti4200 if its a money issue, or the ati equivalent. or higher if your budget allows. tvout causes all sorts of problems, if you really dont need it, dont bother. oh, and see if you can get a v92 modem with what you need.

Holycrap someone pretty-print his post plzkthx.
Does TigerDirect custom build systems or do you mean you're buying parts from it to build one?
In which case, check out www.newegg.com ... you'll probably find cheaper prices for at lease *some* of the items you listed.
