I want to use this to play games, and do school work. I will use the page that is on the web...cant think of the bloody name right now...

However, I also want to connect to the internet, itunes, dreamweaver, and that should pretty much cover it.

Any better options? I am kinda at the limit for my budget but if there are superior parts that are not too much more I may wait a little to get the money.

Everything match up?

Thanks ahead of time. I plan on getting some replies and if all is well, placing the order

Good list.

My suggestion is to swap that hard drive for a Western Digital.

Also, your links are dead. The forum shortens them if you just highlight/copy/paste. Use "Copy ShortCut" in the right click menu instead.

Looks like a good build. I believe I remember someone saying the DVDRW w/Secure Disc had some problems.
I could be mistaken so if anyone knows for sure please please correct me.

No need for DDR2-1066 ram with that processor - I'd save some bucks and get regular old DDR2-800.
