I personally would stick with XP because I (and indeed most people) prefer it, but I'm not stopping you.

Well on seeing the price, think i,ll stick with XP for now.
If i was going for Vista in the future, which version 32bit or 64bit?

i think the vista 32bit would be the best bet. if you have like more than 4gb, then 64bit, but otherwise get the 32 bit.

64-bit does allow the use of more than 4GB of RAM, but since I've still yet to find anything that uses more than 2.7GB of my RAM, I don't think that'll be necessary for quite some time, and 64-bit Vista often causes driver issues. Stick with 32-bit unless you have to have a 64-bit OS.

No, it's not being used with a heatsink, it's an extra case fan, the coolermaster case only comes with one, but has space for 2.

@Sam, the motherboard you suggested doesnt support SLI or crossfire, will i then have trouble with the graphics card?
Do i really need that card as i am not a PC Gamer?

The CPU cooler comes with the thermal paste already applied on the bottom of the heatsink, and that's all you need unless you're going with an aftermarket cooler.
