The purpose of my PC will be some gaming and mainly multimedia/home-theater use. It will be permanently in my living room attached to my 46" LCD TV.

My choices so far are:

Lian Li PC-V351 mATX Case
DFI LANPARTY JR X58 mATX motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 CPU
6 GB (2 x 3) DDR3 RAM (Suggestions on brands/speed?)
Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 1GB DDR5 Video Card
CD/DVD Burner Optical Drive (already have a PS3 for Blu-Ray playback)
Enermax MODU82+ 625W Power Supply
Vista Premium 64 Bit (Should I just go for 32 bit?)
Aftermarket CPU cooler

Suggestions? What CPU cooler do people suggest? Remember, I will be using a SFF case so it can't be huge...but height shouldn't be as big of a problem as a regular HTPC case...this Lian Li has some height to it. Is the power supply adequate?

Thanks.
