You may want to get UV filters?

You've got pretty much all you'll need. If you're shooting indoors you might want an external flash unit which will give you more control than the built in flash.

Big Block go VROOOM!
On one hand, I'm a believer in the notion of don't buy cheap filters and put a crappy piece of glass in front of your lens. In this regard, I would recommend HMC or S-HMC UV filters from Hoya or anything from B+W. On the flip side, if you ever decide to upgrade to Canon's higher end glass, there's a good chance the filters you'd purchase for your initial two lenses would be too small.

I just bought some new parts to build a dedicated computer for photographs.
