I am about to order my new PC in about a week, I am just wondering what you guys think. One thing that I am not sure of is my motherboard and if I should use that chipset fan, any advice is welcome. Also I might be forgetting something so if you find something I have forgoten please tell me.(Besides monitor and speakers)

drop the liteon burner and get the nec, more firmware, and better, drop the floopy, you don't need it, all the coolermaster fans are no good, alot of people on this forum uses the panaflo, change the case to a no power supply to save some money, bring that money over and drop it on the antec or a fortron, or sparkle, those are good brand power supply and get do get something around 450watts to 500watts, the case you have with the 350watts power supply will take out your whole system, trust me, you're running a 6600GT, those sucks major power. drop the light and go for something cheaper :) and i believe you're missing a sound card.

I am getting a 1x OCZ ModStream 520W Power Supply with OCZ EZMod technology, SATA Connector which was added. I was going to sell the 350 the main reason was to have the sound gauge. Also for sound card I have the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum PCI Sound Card. I will look into the fans and also I am still deciding in which case to get. Thanks for the help :D
 
it's ok to get the DVD rom, but don't burn direct DVD to DVD, they get mess up real easy, and DVD are like 50cents a pop hehe, 2 in a row and you lost a dollar. the reason you would wanna get a DVD rom is that it's better for ripping DVD, for some strange reason alot of the DVD burner have problem reading DVD :) wierd.

you are gonna drop major bucks on this sytem aren't you lol

This computer is suppose to last me for several years, thast why I got the lattest things like PCI-E and LGA 775 so that I could upgrade along the way, I got less than 2k to spend on it so far I am at 1.8 amd will try to leave it at that. Any ways any feedback with the mobo, seems like I made a good choice on it I guess. Only other one someone told me about the fatality one by ABIT.
