Over All Price= $668

I switched what video card I'm going to get.
 
wow, thats a good deal on that video card. but if your going to plan on gaming then you might want to invest $30 more and get a 9600gso. it would be a major improvement over the 8600gts
 
I don't think my optical drive will work with my motherboard because I just checked and my optical drive is IDE and I don't know if my motherboard supports IDE. Will it work?

Your motherboard could still support IDE drives, 2 Max.
 
That's good.

On the tutorial I watched the person didn't recommend SATA optical drives.
 
I think I'm going to go with this Duel Core CPU instead of the Quad Core.

Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 Wolfdale 2.66GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Does it look pretty good?

I think I'm going to get this CPU fan:

Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks

Edited:

I decided not to get the CPU fan I gave above because the reviews said it was hard to install and since I'm a noob I don't want to mess something up while installing the fan.

Which CPU fan would you guys recommend? I want to spend around $20 on one.
