OK im finally going  to build  a new computer next week...... I wanted to spend more but ended up getting limited on the funds to  around 600 bucks. I have DvD an Hard Drive from the computer im using right now.     

 This is what I planned to get.

ECS P35T-A LGA 775 Intel P35 

SAPPHIRE 100242L Radeon HD 4850 

Rosewill RP550V2-D-SL 550W SLI Ready 

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz  

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800  

 

 

So if anyone has any Ideas that would be awesome....... Thanks.

    You do realize your mobo has SATA right?  That means if that DVD rom and the HD isnt sata, you have to put them on the same IDE cable, which will slow down data transfer on installs from DVD to HD. 

    But, if they are SATA, rock on :)

    Yeah, I have a Raptor which is SATA and my Dvd drive is IDE so no problems.
