So, I have all this stuff for my AMD build (I don't want Conroe, so don't suggest it)
Optical drive:
LG 16X DVD±R Super-Multi DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black E-IDE/ATAPI Model GSA-H10N - OEM

$77.99
MoBo:

$94.99
Vcard:
XFX PVT71PUDE3 Geforce 7900GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 XT Edition Video Card - Retail
$219.99
PSU:
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply - Retail
$89.99
RAM:

If I choose 3 day delivery (Though I'm impatient and tempted to spend the 65 extra $ on next day delivery), I'll have 65 extra dollars to spend on something else. Should I spend it on:
1. An X2 4200 (although I think the 3800 oc'd would be fine) and the oc'd Gigabyte 7900GT w/ zalman hs/fan.
2. A better mobo.
3. A better psu w/ PFC & Mod Cable perhaps (although I think the antec is good).
4. Everything is good enough. The faster it arrives the better. Next day delivery.
Suggestions?
