What is your budget?
What will the computer be for? Gaming? General use like email? And I would suggest you stay away from asrock motherboards. Look at asus. Do you need wifi?

Asrock isn't the greatest quality.
I would suggest the asus p5q. For a dvd drive, either a asus or lite-on dvd burner, sata, retail. The motherboard has onboard sound, so you wouldn't need a soundcard. And for a video card, the 8800gt seems to be at a good price now. So is the 4850. |
