Please review my final build list before I fire off my order.
About 90% of this will come from NewEgg. A few thoughts and issues are below my build list.

ASUS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model DRW-2014L1T
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit English 1pk DSP OEI DVD for System Builders
Here are my open issues/thoughts:
I'm not against putting a few more dollars in the MOB (suggestions?)
I dropped a Thermaltake Power Supply and replaced it with a SeaSonic based on reviews, now I'm thinking move up to the 650W version model of the SeaSonic?
Most items say Retail so I believe that means "complete" where HD or say OEM do I knew extra "stuff" or am I covered?
CPU cooler is like $52 at FrozenCPU, it's like $40 at tigerdirect is this really the same product? Also I went with "easy of installation" for 1st time builder, it seems "big" if there is a better suggestions shout.
My original plan was to go with to HP 20" Monitors, just too expensive decided on one 24 Samsung and will a 20" Samsung on from PS once I earn a few more points. This actually opens up my budget a bit to improve some other spots.
I'd like to pump the memory up to 4GB, just buy two of the above or a better config?
Not, over clocking, not a gamer, (at least for now on both) will mostly be used to play poker, movie editing, picture editing, that sort off stuff. Some database and light programming, nothing earth shattering but would like to have a some better stuff so upgrading is easier and it will be usable for longer period of time.
Thanks in advance!
