Welcome to PCMech.
Good start, but I have a few suggestions. First, I'd go with Corsair brand DDR2-800. Anything faster is overkill. Second, go with Retail burners. They come with software. Stick with LiteOn. Lastly, and most importantly, PowerUp power supplies are junk. You never want to go cheap on a power supply. This would a great choice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104953

Buying retail means that you get everything that comes in the box. For the DVD player, that means software like Nero, cables, screws, etc. The OEM version is only the player itself, nothing more.

Matt has you covered. This is the unit I'd pick up: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106072
And you'll be fine for those games. They don't require too much horsepower. |
