I plan on getting an external wireless card, or do internal work just as well? Also, I plan on getting a fan for my processor, I just have to decide on one. The OS will be Windows 7 64-bit. Please tell me what you think of my build and thanks in advance.

Also, is there any way to lower the price without lowering the performance by very much?
