I disagree with the P5QL Pro - that's a P43 chipset. Get a P5Q SE Plus, it's a P45 and only $10 more, same price after mailin rebate.

I also disagree with that DVD burner, it's IDE and you should get SATA. Newegg's selection of SATA DVD burners right now is awful, and expensive.

You don't really need 1066 ram, 800 is fine and probably a bit cheaper.

You are right George the P45 is always a better option but those P5QL Pro boards are robust and stable.

Change the dvd to sata

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151187

go with this memory 800

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231122


DDR2 1066*/800/667

* Due to AMD CPU limitation, DDR2 1066 is supported by AM2+/AM3 CPU for one DIMM per channel only.
