PC Upgrade

I haven't upgraded my PC in a long time, A very very long time in fact so it I essentially need to start from scratch, so my plan was to install the following components inside my existing Cooler Master 210 (assuming an ATX 2.2 PSU fits in an "ATX" case).

All of that is from scan.co.uk as they are cheapest once you take into account delivery costs plus they appear to be the only e-tailer to show a difference between the 95W G0 Q6600 and a normal B3 or older Q6600 other than Oc. Amazon do a better price for Vista - I am also concerned about the "UPGRADE to 64Bit" comment, does that mean I have to install Vista 32 then upgrade to 64 - which would be odd as they are different kernels etc. The Amazon products has separate products for 32 and 64 bit.

Anyone got any thoughts, having not ordered parts for a new computer for 3 or 4 years I am actually quite nervous.
