swat5150: I wouldn't use a Topower power supply, I'd go with something from a better company like Antec, Enermax, Fortron Source, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic or Sparkle Power. If you want to cut back on the price a bit the only things I would suggest is the CPU and the motherboard. Get a E6550 C2D instead of the E6750 and get a ASUS P5K SE instead of the Intel BOXD975XBX2KR...you'll save about $125 over your original choices.  Cricket

You need an optical drive. Get a lite on dvd/cd burner.,
You can save some money by getting a western digital hard drive. Get an evga 8600gt not xfx Get an asus p5k motherboard To save money the e4400 is plenty enough power for what you want to do. Try and get 2gb of ram if you can. Also you need an operating system. Get windows vista system builders oem.
