Welcome to PCMech
Everything looks compatabll. If you dont have burning software you might want to go retail on the burner, usually about $3 more. I generally recomend Lite-on which come with Nero. Kat

definitley gonna need a graphics card... id go for a 8800GT 512mb onboard
to save money, you can cannabalize parts from your old computers; like you could use an old optical from one of them, and swipe a hard drive or two also, you could save money on the operating system, *insert illicit activity here* furthermore, id go for a case without a power supply since you are already getting your own Last edited by >:() - Tiki Man; 04-19-2008 at 01:48 PM. |
