sytem you had on default isn't bad given the budget restraints... again as was said, only use 1 DIMM of ram, socket A does nto support running memory in dual channel so no reason to bother... i don't know about that particular board, but I hear on the AMD forums that ePox was one fo the most prefered manufacturers. it has a via chipset though, so overclocking will be limited(not like it matters with that PSU)
default system? im keeping my current if thats what ur saying ya i just noticed it dont have duel channel

Um... Why don't you get a CD/DVD R-RW instead of two seprate? After adding those prices... $17+$14 = $31 (plus 2x shipping), a NEC CD/DVD R-RW is $30. Merged Post: Anyway, nice job. Not a bad deal on such a cheap computer.
thats all good. you should just get the single dvd drive and you dont need this - Hard Drive Power Cable - AMC CSA-6 6" SATA Power Adapter, (15-Pin) to Power Supply (4-Pin) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16812105409 $2.99
