Looks ok, though I probably wouldn't keep the included psu, and would instead get a higher quality unit from thermaltake or antec. I'd either ebay the included psu or keep it as a backup.

I wouldn't keep it because the psus that are bundled are typically pretty cheap. Since the psu blowing can take pretty much everything with it, I consider it worthwhile to spend a few extra bucks for something of known quality (and good warranty )
The odds are definitely in favor of nothing happening, and you probably wouldn't have any problems at all. I just like the extra security.

There are many. I like the Chenbro X-pider and the Chieftec Dragon line, among others. Look on newegg or tigerdirect and see what you like.

Yes. If it had come out earlier, I probably would have one myself.
