Help me not screw this up

Been researching for months prior to building my first pc. . .probably too much! Hardware chosen is sufficient for my needs/desires. Needed for gaming, photo/video editing, watching DVDs. . .oh yeah, and work. Will be upgrading to Vista Ultimate when available. Will place the hardware order this week and begin build at first of the year.

Please confirm for me that I have no compatibility issues. . .

Also, any known issues with these parts going together (i.e., tricks for painless build/install)

Sorry for the long list but I am starting from scratch. Wish SATA optical drives were available but its a minor issue. Was also considering Antec NeoPowerHE 550W as alternate PSU as it is cheaper but who knows.

Any recommendations/critiques welcomed. Thanks.

That all looks great.

The Lite On DVD burners have been getting better reviews here lately, but I don't know that there's anything wrong with the Samsungs.

I'm jealous--NICE system!
