1k Build, From Scratch

[VishKapish]

So I'm making a new build from scratch and was wondering what you guys think about it. I have no parts, so if any peripherals are missing let me know. I'm going to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7, I was wondering if I would have any trouble with these parts. Also, should I bump up my case to a full tower?

I would save a little more to get least a 22' monitor.
Such as this

And cheaper PSU:

Might also want to get a cheaper case.

Other than that it looks fine.

I consider rebates as a deduction in price, so the power supply and case are already pretty cheap.

I would also need an IDE to sata converter for that drive correct?

Good call on the monitor, at the time I made my build, the 18.5" was $99 w/ free shipping. I guess the price went up.

I think aliasaid made an honest mistake with linking to the IDE optical. Stick with sata
