What you think so far? again all comments appreciated, I need help with picking a CPU out.

You should be able to pretty much pick any AMD CPU available and it should be more than capable of handling the processing tasks. One thing you might want to keep in mind is that your PSU in the case isn't exactly great (@275W) With that in mind, I'd probably steer more towards the lower power CPU's. You may want to do a quick check to make sure the PSU has enough juice to power all your components.
