I still don't understand why you need 2 optical drives. Please explain more clearly.

i probally dont, but what if i wanted to copy a disc or something? i would but the un burned dics in the dvd drive and the blank in the burner.

its only 20$, why not?

[Virtualbody1234]

No use. You can still copy a disc with one drive.

I do it all the time.

alrite that site says i need about 320 watts.

so is it ok if i buy a 350w supply? will that be to much?

Don't worry about too much. And about the 350 Watts... I depends on the maker.

Enermax 350W EG365P-VE Dual Fan $61

probally dont need dual fans, but does that look ok?

[Virtualbody1234]

Yeah that's a good brand. If it was me I would get one with even higher wattage.

Enermax or Antec.

Get a 9800 Xt or Pro insted of that FX.

VB1234 is right only have 1 drive and get a 320gb hard drive.

then why not add in another $10 and get a dvd reader incase you want to copy dvds...no point in cd reader

P.S. do you really need the VIVO function of the gfx card?
