You could get a much cheaper DVD burner. It's not really a component that makes a difference. I believe the cheapest is about $25 shipped.

There's better RAM for about the same price without the need for a rebate: G.SKill Ripjaws 2x2 GB 1600 mhz CAS Latency 7. In addition, I've heard a lot about people having some trouble getting the OCZ sticks set to the right specs.

Thanks, I was really just unsure about the RAM working with everything okay--hence the RAM tested on the 790 fx.
