Here is a package deal which I want to purchase and then assembly them. I am going to replace a couple things in there, please provide any advice since this is the first time I am building, thanks!!

Components I want to change:
Video Card -> ATI Radean 9600XT 128MB
can anyone tell me the difference between the two video cards? Which is better?

Questions:
- Also, does the LG DVD RW works on CDR as well? And should I buy another CD or DVD ROM Drive?
- I have no idea about the speaker, is the original one a good one? Or should I purchase something more expensive?
- Which CPU should I go for?
Thanks in advance.
