I play games like WoW and emulation. The only new game I am going to run is Wrath of the Lich King expansion for WoW.
Overclocking is NOT a #1 priority...... I prefer silent and cool over faster and deaf. Alas I degress.... back to my system.
I have 2 IDE burners that I will not part with since both are Plextors. So IDE is a MUST.
I have 3 IDE hard drives that are loaded so I was going to get 3 of these

Along with a 750gb SATA 3GB hard drive as my main drive.
I prefer a STABLE motherboard. Let's put it this way my last two builds used an Intel 845PERL and an ASUS P4P800Deluxe.
Need gigabit networking and at least 4 USB.
Onboard sound is ok for me since I am not a purist. If it makes noise.... cool.
As far as a CPU I was going with http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0288157
Memory I was going to go with http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0288096
Only reason I went with Microcenter for the above parts was it is close to my house and if there is a problem I can throw it back on their desk.
Lastly, will an Antec TP550 power supply be good enough or do I need a new one?
Sorry for the long post. Thank you all
