Have you considered the Zalman xxxHP series? They are really quiet and they would fit quite well with your build.
Yes but availability and price make the Corsair more appealing. I am considering the 520w version now though!
As for the ram, I would pick the faster ram personally since you're going to have to ramp up your FSB speeds you need ram that can handle it.
2x2gb of good quality ram would go really well I would say.
Can you recommend anything specific?
As for the graphics card, why not pick up an ATI 38xx or 48xx series, that way you can scale your graphics output up to 3 cards as your need arises.
For lower resolution I would suggest the 4850 or if you intend to use a 27+ monitor in the future the 4870 with 1gb of GDDR5 ram will have plenty of bandwidth to run at a high resolution.
When I upgrade to Vista I will need something that supports V.High resolutions on 24" Widescreen or bigger. But budget video cards are everywhere and there is a lot to choose from!!
