Your system specs look good to me. The PSU is more than enough and it is SLI certified and your board supports SLI too. I say go for it.

How are your temperatures in your case?

Here you go, same burner OEM/Retail. Retail comes with a cable, manual and extra faceplate. Both come with Nero and PowerDVD.

Here are a few pretty good ones I have used in your price range:

I have used this Samsung one in about two dozen systems and they have all worked great so far.
