If you order the retail version of the CPU, then it will come with a heatsink/fan. If you order the OEM version, (for manufacturers), then it will be only the CPU, nothing else.
I would suggest not going with ECS, because these are manufactured to a lower price point, and so comprises are made, such as the use of just-rated (not overrrated, as some better motherboards use) capacitors that may burn up sooner under heavy use. Buy a better motherboard, after all it is the foundation upon which everything else rests.
Another thing I'd suggest is to use two hard drives instead of one, and to use a smaller one for the system and a larger one for the data. Don't forget data backup. too.
Also, use a good power conditioner, not just a surge suppressor. Dirty AC power can diminish the life of components, and also cause software errors.
One more thing, if the motherboard you buy accepts ECC RAM, get it. Error correction in RAM is a good thing.
Oh, and what about the sound card. If this will be used mainly for audio recording, you should look at pro audio cards/controllers, rather than a general purpose (gaming, aduio, etc) controller.
Just my humble suggestions.
