Where do you live? Here's a list for the U.S.A.

Newegg.com - Sony Optiarc Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD/CD Rewritable Drive - CD / DVD Burners

If you don't plan on overclocking, don't bother with that classified mobo. Kind of a waste of money if you aren't going to use it for what its meant for. Case is up to you, then for video cards I'd say 2

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100281VXSR Radeon HD 5870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

of those. Course they're all sold out. But they're the fastest cards out right now so. Along with the operating system of your choice.

Since price isn't an issue I would go with a larger power supply for future upgrades.
Newegg.com - CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-950TX 950W ATX12V v2.2/EPS12V v2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

If you'll be air-cooling I would buy a different heatsink, from a different store.
Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme-1366 RT Rev. C CPU Heatsink (Socket LGA 1366) - FrozenCPU.com
or this more expensive model
Thermalright "Limited Edition" TRUE Copper Ultra-120 eXtreme CPU Heatsink (Socket LGA 775 / LGA 1366 / LGA 1156* / AM2 / Xeon*) - FrozenCPU.com
the True Copper doesn't come with a fan.
Cooler Master 120x25mm Dual Ball Silent Fan - Blue LED (Y720DCD-25T1-GP) - 110.0CFM - FrozenCPU.com

or you can go with a water-cooling setup, there are more available to choose from
Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima Liquid Cooling Kit (Universal Mount / LGA 1366 Included) - FrozenCPU.com

or you can go all out, with will require a handmade retention mechanism
