Getting ready to order. Check my sanity please

Let me know what you think as I'm getting ready to dump a bunch of $$$.

Here is what I'm getting:

ABIT 875P Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU, Model "IC7-Max3" -RETAIL
Intel Pentium 4/ 2.8C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512K Cache, Hyper Threading Technology - Retail
Geil Golden Dragon Dual Channel Kit 184 Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-4000 - Retail Cas Latency: 2.5 7-4-4
ATI AIW RADEON 9800PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR, 256-bit, DVI/CATV/VIVO, 8X AGP -RETAIL
Cooler Master Aero 4 CPU Cooler for Socket 478,Model:ISB-V73.
Allied TRUE 450W Power Supply AL-B450EATX w/ Two Fans ***AMD APPROVED good to 2200+ *** UL, CSA, FCC Approved

See anything that should be replaced?

Also, should I go with the retail CPU or the OEM seeing how I'm buying a Cooler Master Aero 4 Heatsink?

Do you have to put a fan on it?

Yes.

The SLK947-U is currently on sale @ Sidewinder Computers for $32.95 with a free tube of Artic Alumina.

I have several CPU fans from various heatsinks and one coming with the processor. Can I just use one of these?

Thanks for your patients!

Probably not, unless they are larger than 60x60mm. The 947 can use 70mm (rare), 80mm(case fan), or 92mm fans. Your retail Intel heatsink uses a 70mm fan, but I'm not sure if it's possible to use it seperate from the heatsink itself.
