Help on new build

[wildheritage]

Hi,
I am looking for advice to finalize my Intel based build that I intend to use for web, MS office video/photo editing, guitar port, and a few games. I am also hoping I can get at least 5 years out of it. I am looking to stay in the range of $700-$900.
I need a 1394(video connection) for my video recorder and a mid tower case to fit my desktop rack location.
I have a few questions on this build.
Questions:
1. Am I better off installing a firewire PCI card and use a Z68 Mobo or the one selected?
2. Please recommend a CPU Cooler?
3. Please recommend thermal compound?
4. Have I selected the appropriate ram for the mobo, i do want 8gb?
5. Please recommend a power supply for my situation?
6. Do I need any specific tools, such as the antistatic wrist strap?
7. Have I missed any parts, I'd like to buy in one shot? I have windows 7, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and monitor.

Change motherboard to a P67 or Z68 (the one you selected is a micro ATX)

Go with the Hyper 212+ or Hyper 212 EVO for the CPU cooler (it comes with a thermal compount already i do believe)

Change your HDD to a Seagate Barracuda (it has 6.0 GB/s)

You dont need any tools just be careful where you place things

i thought i needed micro atx to fit the case?
Thanks for your recommendations.

No your case is a Mid-Tower so it will be able to fit a regular motherboard
