1. yes as u r not using for gaming the configuration is good.. and u can buy lg dvd combo drive.which even can burn dual layer dvd.and many more. i liked u r case choice.
2. That set up will work but here's my few cents: 1. Since your PC is not really intended as a gaming PC, motherboard with FOUR x16 PCIe graphics slot is OVERKILL. You just need ONE slot. 2. For Vista, make sure you install at least 2Gb RAM. 3. 650W power supply is also overkill for that set up. I bet that set up will never hit 300W on the wall socket. A 450-500W unit will give plenty of elbow room for upgrades. BUT if you want bragging rights with your PC, you can disregard items 1 and 3.
