Yeah, I may just have to do that, but I'm going to try and avoid it. Not because of the expense. I really just hate to have extra crap lying around.
The components that I'm buying are all coming OEM. I should be able to put them together just fine, as I've worked on a few computers, but since everything is coming without accessories or software, I'm sure I will run into some challenges.

A 350w Enermax will outperform a 1,000w Raidmax PSU for said reasons.

Wow, awesome info. I knew that Enermax was a good brand but I didn't know that would make such a difference. That makes me feel a lot more confident.
