Would it be better for you to use two sticks of ram to take advantage of nForce2's dual DDR capablity?
For a powersupply, I would look at something with a little more juice. I'm not telling you to get a 550 watt. How about looking at Antec, Enermax or for the budget Allied power 350 watt model and above.


For few dollars more, I've seen the Lite-on DVD/CDRW combo for under $60.00.

Maybe you can give us budget, so we can help you get some better speakers and monitor.
