thx hikaricloud for that list. i took a look at that cpu and mobo combo, and it looks like a good deal, but now its starting to stray from my budget unfortunately. i don't need a real big powerhouse, just something relatively fast and i think the cpu i picked out can handle that. i know for sure i will upgrading it but in the future though.
as for the ram, if i really wont see a diff between the 800 or 1066, then i guess ill go for the 800's. in that case however, you provided me a link with these 800 ones before. for 5$ more
would they still be good?

hm. i think ill pick up that vista and hdd combo though, it would end up giving me the same os i wanted with a larger hdd for less money. definitly good.
for the dvd drive, i think the one i chose will do good. the one you selected has all types of diff write speeds and what not which i dont think ill ever use it for. as long as it can read a disc im good
also for the case, ehh it seems a little dull looking. all black. and it has the psu mount on the bottom which i find awkward..
last thing. i've read the reviews for lots of hardware about the mir's and tbh i personally wouldnt count on them. if its not a substantial amount of money, id honestly prob forget.
thx though.
