Why don't you elimnate CD R/RW drive and then you have more to spend? You already have DVD burner that can burn CDR/CDRWs? or you can get the NEC drive and save a few bucks more.


Edit, sorry I thought this was the system you are going to buy. How about game then?

the dvd burner is only a 4x. So it only burns cds at 16x. I have the other drive so i can rip dvds at 16x. WOOHOO 200 posts...

you thought about going wireless? you can get an 802.11g card with shipping under 30. but you'd need a router.

unless you needed dvds, then i'd recommend saving it.

Or why don't you just get what you want and use the $30 gift card? You don't have to limit yourself to $30.

you can send it to me...you know, you dont have a clue what to do with it, and i could greatly use it ;)

other then that, but yourself a better CPU, GPU, RAM...the whole package...you can get that for around...uh...$30 should be enough. lol
you arent really able to get much on newegg for 30...i would save up $20 and get a better PSU
(Rosewill has this nice 500watt with 34A on the 12V rail for like...50 i think...it's nice)
