some gaming, but no BF2 on high, more like Age of empires 3 on low.

this is what i got.
it comes out to 500 bucks, 100 less than what i said was my money, but i still need to hook it up to a wireless network because the cable modem's accross the house, and for that i need router/WAC
also
what do i need ot hook the computer up to a wireless network?
a card?
and i still need a dvd-rom (can a dvd rom play cd's and games AND dvd's)
a floppy drive
and mabe a few other fans.
THanks, this is what i have lined up, comments and constructive critisizm much appriciated.
ALSO can i reuse the Windows XP home and microsoft office that came with my current dell dimention 2400, which was incidentaly purchased october of 2003 (if you need to know)???
if not...i think this whole thing might be off becuase of lack of funding.
