Change the RAM to the Geil Value on "This Week Only" for the same price.

It all looks good but as fenderbass86 says you might as well go for Geil Value since it is the same price, I'd also consider the NEC 4551 for the DVDRW but it is a bit more expensive.

That spec looks good.

BTW i have the Samsung SH-W162C & its been a very reliable & quiet burner so far.
