So I need a nice pc cooler fan preferably with a blue LED. Also I will need a nice PSU also preferably with a blue LED. And would like to know what you think about the OS I should get... Windows XP or Vista? Thanks fellas!

Oh also... Im looking for a LCD 37" but am not to intelligent on the correct LD needed for my video cards. Thinking it has to have DVI ports... is this correct?
 
got the armor case ;) and i've got all the parts i've mentioned above. just need help with a psu with blue leds and cpu fan/cooler blue leds and 37" lcd screen.
 
if i were you i would look at the MSI 650i motherboard
its cheap (its usually around 120 bucks)
it has great reviews everywhere ive seen
and there was one site i was looking at that showed that performance wise there really is no difference between the 650 and 680 chipsets

for ram i would go with 2x2gb set also for the sake of future upgradability
