You'll need a dual-channel DDR2667 kit with that. CORSAIR VALUE SELECT. Get the evga or XFX version of that video card. Get the SEAGATE 16mb PRT 320GB Hard Drive, and a LITE-ON burner.

LG burners are fine, but whatever burner you get, make it a retail version so you get the software.
That WD is fine, but the Seagate 7200.10 drives are a bit faster and have a 5 year warranty. PNY video cards are fine. Yes, you should get a dual channel ram kit - it performs better than a single module. If you need to cut costs anywhere, you can get a E6300. If you can afford *more* the E6600 is worth it though. |
