New Build

Hi, This is my first try at building a PC. This is what I'm using P4 3.4, Asus P5AD2E-Premium, Corsair Twin2X1024-5400C4Pro, Gigabyte Rocket Cooler, 2 Maxtor 120GB SATA Drives, XFX Geforce 6600 Graphics card, Plextor PX-716SA DVD Burner, Plextor PX-Premium CR-RW, Iomega Zip 250 Drive, Sony 3.5 Floppy Drive, Thermaltake Pure Power 560W Power Supply, all in a Thermaltake V6000A Case. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to PC Mech,

the DVD-Burner does also burn to CDs, so the PlexWriter Premium is unneeded. Also, unless you are a die-hard fan of the unnecessary zip-drives, just forget it. They are very expensive, and offer no function that the DVD burner already provides.

Also, make sure that you get the PCI-e version of the graphics card rather than AGP.

Also, you could get by with 1 gig of ram.
