Well I dont really do serious gaming anymore like CS, COD, or any others. I guess I should have explained it a little better. My games consist of a yahoo game now and then.

I want the best for my money and would like to have at least 1 dvd burner. Please keep the suggestions coming.
 
1) abit nF2 SPP - 82

2) xp 2800 w/heatsink - 98

3) corsair valueselect - 89

4) 9600xt - 93

5) 80GB seagate barracuda sata150 - 65

6) any case - 20

7) thermaltake silent pure 420W dual fan psu - 36

total 483 dollars

EDIT:
8) NEC IDE BLACK/BEIGE dvd burner - 40

523 dollars
 
I am sure I can do better like I said I have a budget of $800 80GB HD? I would need something bigger than that since I do a lot of downloading. My daughter is 9 and has a bigger HD than that...lol

Ok this is what I have in mind so far, let me know what you think.

intel Pentium 4 3.0E Prescott 800MHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache Socket 478 Processor - Retail 181.00
Abit VT7 Mother Board - Retail - 62.00
2 - 512 DDR Ram PC3200 184 pin
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD4000KD 400GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM 227.99
Rosewill RW92SE-128D Radeon 9200SE 128MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail 39.99

I have not decided on what type of dvd burners to get. I do not want a cd-rom drive. I am going to go with 2 dvd burners instead.

Post your opinion on what I have so far and what burners would go good with it.
 
why 2 DVD burners, why not just one. and why abit mobo, and why INTEL. rosewill 9200? uh um. ok?
 
1) AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ - 146

2) DFI nF4 ultra-D - 135

3)eVGA 6600GT - 154

4) 1GB corsair valueselect - 90

5) NEC iDE dvd burner - 40

6)Update Antec PERFORMANCE TX TX1050B Black Steel Server Computer Case 500W ATX12V v2.0 Power Supply - Retail - 139

7) segate barracuda 80GB sata150 hdd- 65

which leaves enough left for shipping!

you really want to get a 300GB hdd and just get a 9200?

killer machine wit a 9200 haha no

^^ i still think thats your best get. you can lower the card to a 9600xt save that 54 dollars and go for a 120GB or 160GB hdd
 
I plan on updating the video card later but getting this to get me by for now.

And how are these? DVD
