Get an SATA dvd burner, not an IDE.

Why would you even consider XP? Firstly, you listed the upgrade, which isn't going to do you any good unless you own an OS you can upgrade to XP from. Secondly, you won't be able to use all your ram with a 32bit OS. I would guess that you would be limited to less than 3GB.

Get Vista Home Premium x64.
