Default Tentative Build Specs - Critque

All prices are in Canadian and this site does do price match so I will get them slightly cheaper (priced it out earlier about $100 less).

AMD X2 4200+ - $599
I want a dual core processor if I am going to build a new system and I understand that AMD's are more stable than Intel. I am also willing to go down to a X2 3800+ for $460

DFI Lanparty - $178
or
Asus A8N-E - $144
I'm open to suggestions here for motherboards. I think that if I am going AMD for a processor I want an NF4 chipset though, but other than that I don't think I need many extra options.

Seagate 160GB SATA - $120
I have debated buying a raptor for my OS and applications and using this drive just for data but atm I'm not sure. The raptor seems like a lot of money.

Corsair Value Select Twin-X 1GB - $140

Also, a DVD writer and Antec Sonata 2 case (I want it to be quiet).

I currently have a ATI PCI video card with one DVI output and one VGA. I have a 2001FP. I think that I am looking for another 2001FP and a dual DVI video card but I can't find a dual DVI video card at this site (or in canada in my limited research). I don't really care about playing games but at the same time I don't know if I want to limit myself. What are the current recommended dual dvi video cards?
