Would there be a problem with having 2 dvd drives? Will those DVD drives I have selected run and or burn any kind of cd/dvd? Or do I need to get 1 DVD Drive and 1 CD Drive?
 
it looks like you've made up your mind then.

i see you've edited your first post with another cpu choice. if you decide to get the i7 then you're gonna need a different motherboard as it uses the lga1366 socket. the i5 uses the lga1156 socket.

Yeah that's been noticed and fixed haha.

A buddy of mine on Starcraft II gave me that CPU and later pointed out I'd need a different motherboard for it... then he fixed it by giving me a different 1 that does work haha.
 
Wow... I've just noticed this whole setup is costing me like $1,100+... like $300-$400 over what I was intending LMFAO... Well that'll be a little rough haha... Let's see if I can pull this off.

Total Costs So Far: $397.67 USD (Tax on mouse unknown)

How come I can no longer edit older posts? :(
 
Keyboard
Not quite half the price, but approximately 62% the cost of Razer's website.

That's a different keyboard. That's the one without the blue backlit keys which is what I'm looking for. The 1 I have listed is the Black Widow Ultimate. The one you have listed is the Black Widow.
 
For an under $1000 budget, I wouldn't suggest i7... I'd go with i5 or AMD

The first CPU I have listed is i5 and that's what my estimate was with... and I actually quoted my total a little low I think... I think my totals going to be around $1,300.

Is there a cheaper one that will work just as well? I don't need multi-monitor support.
