That should be a fairly reliable / stable system but stay away from the free version of Zone alarm it's terrible and causes nothing but problems. if your buying the Pro version or better it's still ok, but otherwise I might look into Kerio Personal Firewall as a good free alternative.

Also that motherboard (or at least the non E version) tends to be picky w/ memory so try and make sure you get something on Asus's compatablity list. also as cas 2.5 ram isn't much more if any more expensive you might want to look into that, for Example... this Corsair Value Select from newegg Cas 2.5 Value Select, I've used this memory w/ sucess in a non E version of the P4P800 Deluxe.

Anyways hope this helps w/ your new system....
