Also, what about the RAM, I can get Corsair ValueSelect and Geil Value RAM for roughly the same price. Reviews for all three were very good. Any preferences?

I'd recommend reading the motherboard manual to see if any particular brand is prefered by the mobo manufacturer. In my case, I use an Asus A8N-SLI Premium. I'd read about a few issues with RAM incompatabilities. I had planned to buy the Corsair ValueSelect RAM. I downloaded a copy of the Asus manual and the Corsair RAM was not listed in their approved vendor list. It may have worked fine, but I went with the Kingston cheap stuff instead since it was specifically listed as compatible in the motherboard manual. Also, as you mentioned, the price was about the same.
