Absolutely correct. Also, why are you paying $15 for Pengo CD-R's? Who the f*** are they?! I've never heard of them. I'm a big believer in quality CD-Rs, but that's just me. Do what you will.

I probably wouldn't get that vid card either, but that's just me.
 
Definatly go with the JB HDD. The Vid card is not bad at all 9500 Pro ROCKS!!!=). If you have a few more bucks to spare jump an a 9700 non-pro should overclock to pro speeds EZ.
 
what do think is a better choice for a vid card then?also pengo is quite good media never made a coaster yet
