that's fine, just read the reviews to get a general idea. dont believe everything you read, though.. any burner around 30 is perfect. I have a Samsung dvd burner in my dad's computer, a Lite-on one with mine. they both run fine
bad bad dont get 939, d=939 is dead and one for am2 for the new quads or please lga 775 for the c2d u should build one urself
btw, im not sure if this is the case in USA (i think it is though) E6300, the cheapest c2d is cheaper than a lot of athlon processors but absolutely whoops their arse, and i used to be an AMD fanboy. I think you should go down the core 2 duo route as I think it would last you longer, as if you are confident you can overclock it and then it surpasses the FX60...
Don't get that shuttle, just use a normal ATX case. Core 2 Duo is the way to go pick a suitable processor, mobo and memory first, rest comes later. What's your budget?
You're planning on paying $500 for a case, motherboard, and a graphics card? Uh.. If you despratly want a Shuttle, but want better preformance, go with something like this: Barbone - $270 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16856101017 Processor - $220 Intel Core 2 Duo E'6400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819115004 Memory - $250 Partriot LLK 2x 1GB DDR2-667 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820220095 Optical - $30 NEC CD/DVD R+RW http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16827152076 Graphics Card - $170 eVGA 7900GS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130056 Total: $975.31 with $70 in rebates.
