Can this PSU keep my rig running fine?

I need Artic Silver 5 thermal compound too? or is that not needed? Also, what's a good dvd/cd drive? anyone recommend one?

AS5 is not needed if you don't plan on overclocking. But it is usually recommended.

Heres a good DVD burner, I usually suggest:
Newegg.com - Sony NEC Optiarc Black 18X DVD+R 6X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 18X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 18X DVD±R DVD Burner, OEM Version - OEM

Does the PSU I have come with the SATA connector I need for the DVD burner?.. and is this all I need? my current comp has 2 drives, I usually only use one anyways.. would this be the only one I need?

One more question.. is it worth $20 extra for the antec 900 over the cooler master 5? I can get it for $85 at compusa where as the cooler master 5 is $65 after shipping and all? Is it worth the $20 extra or shall I keep with my current build that I have?

I'd say it's worth the extra $20, because the Antec 900 usually go for $100-140. So go for it.

The PSU you have, has two SATA connectors.

wow....that's an awesome deal for the Antec 900. Nice find IridetheShortBus.

I'm so ready to build .. but using all my money sucks (I have about $1400 saved up).. gonna use atleast $1100 on this.. so gonna start back down at $300 =[.. it better be worth it! lol.. im currently on an AMD 1500+ at 1.3ghz, so I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it.

Oh yes it will...it will be like day and night, going from that AMD to a C2Q.

Thank you all so much for your help, and if you come up with any suggestions on anything.. or know where I can get something cheaper than by buying from newegg.. PLEASE tell me, I'd like to save as much as I can.. thanks once again guys... great group.. I'll be ordering this week sometime.

I have decided to spend $20 extra and get an antec 900 case... will all this stuff be fine even in an antec 900 case? I hear PSU is at bottom of case, will it be able to reach everything fine? What are your guys opinions on this case?

I don't have any personal experience with the antec 900 but it is always recommended for builders on this site.
