He mentioned he has another comp so he can use that to make a flash install disk. However a DVD burner is only about 20 bucks far an oem one.

He needs to turn it into an ISO file and mount the files as a disc onto the flash drive. Its work that doesnt need to be done and you will end up spending the money for one when you figure out you cant install a game because you dont have the CD drive for it...

You will be disapointed to find out the next time you go to buy a game you wont be able to install it through steam. Games that arent listed on their for sale lists normally arent able to be added to the library. I know plenty about the steams idea of just entering your key through there. But again. The Disc is often needed for installation.

as supported by this pic:

Asus cooler is also amazingly quiet and cool and considered among the best at the moment (sapphire cooler is fairly loud in comparison though they make a cheaper asus 7850 with the same cooler as this 660 but it still will have less performance in comparison).

Drop the mobo down to the ud3h and put the money elsewhere:

Depending on when you plan to buy, this ram is on sale at the moment as well as cl9:

For power supply, that is an extremely old unit that is definitely not as efficient as a newer model like this seasonic which is top of the line:
