if you are going to overclock that, the 3000+ would fair just as well as the 3200. the 3200 just has more flexible multiplier. seagate has 5year warranty but the wd still isnt a bad choice. the benq dw1640 would be the better choice of burners for the same price. for the psu, you cant go wrong with the fortron 450w for $50.

what if i got http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129155 which somes with a psu. would it be sufficient for the rest of the system?

Yes. 🙂 The Sonata II is a nice case w/ a quality 450w psu.

Go with the Sonata ll for form, fit and function. Also suggest you go with SATA HD to save IDE connections. If it were me I would opt for a Plextor IDE DVD burner. A few more bucks but way more reliable.

isn't Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB SATA? or did i just totally misunderstood your suggestion?

 

[halw]

Not sure. If it is it be fine.
