That one is good to either one will be fine. Do you still need help with a case and drive.
If you can find a drive on that website, www.canadacomputers.com
then yes, a cd/dvd burner
not too expensive

All there drives are out of stock you might have to wait for one or look at a different store in your area.

Post up your current revised list, hard to follow the thread
Aftermarket coolers are great, but at a lower budget money is better spent towards getting a better cpu/gpu or whatever.

Wondering if this PSU would be good/compatible with these parts,

Which one would be better?
And for a 4g ram instead of the g.skill one above

$69.99
Which one more preferred for these parts? due to the 3rd one with 1066mhz
and still cheaper than the ram i have above

The cooler master PSU is best the other one is just a cheaply off brand. Since your motherboard will support 1066MHZ then go with that you said it is cheaper right then why not. Also even though it is 1066MHZ it will probably read as 800MHZ. Most likely you will have to change the voltages in the bios to get it to 1066MHZ buy maybe not.

Yes here is a list of CPU's that the motherboard will support http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=YPZrr3KRcW3MBX5G&templete=2. The best ones to consider is the Athlon II X2 245 or 250. Also you can use any Phenom or Phenom II CPU. I don't suggest you get an Athlon 64 or a Phenom I as they are a little out dated.
