Advise me on this rig oh great anandtech members

Will be used for gaming and video editing.
DX10 isn't really a big deal for me, I'll likely do a far more impressive build in about two years.
$1000 - $1250 is my price range on this fella.
I greatly appreciate any feedback, thanks.

Already have 2GB ram, an external 250GB HDD, and a 22" monitor (1680x1050)
I play lots of Company of Heroes and do some video editing from time to time.
In case you couldn't tell I was going for nice and quiet with the video card and the CPU cooler.
(I don't plan on OC'ing, but I figure I can run the fan on that cooler at it's lowest setting and be good to go)

There is a $65 rebate on that mobo btw.
