Quick Review Intel System

Here are the parts I picked to build an Intel-based system. I am trying to navigate through price and functionality/power and think this is a good combination. What do you think?

Looks pretty good. Not sure why you need two identical burners.
Also, don't forget an OS

I burn a few Video Camera movies to DVD and then make copies of it for the family back in Europe. So, the second burner is pure convenience. I got the OS already - so, no need to buy it at this point.
