A power supply would be good...but you have the basics covered if you plan on using onboard video and sound...
If not then add to your list a vid card and a sound card
Is this your first build ? ?

Pretty much (those are the basic hardware devices you would need)  but remember these too!

7. operating system
8. a "good" power supply*
9. for gaming  a must*  PCI-E  video card
10. additional fans in case  ie..(cooling)

I will assume you know the rest   ............. :D
