is say anywhere around 1500$ is the budget. the ram i chose xms because i heard about valueselect not working well with certain boards. about the video cards -- i know there are a few types of x800 such as xl and xt.. im not sure what their differences are?

edit- is it wise to get two optical drives like one for cd-rw and one for dvd-rw.. or is the combo the better way to go? im assuming there is an advantage to having two?
