Default Re: VERY tight budget PC build

Considering the piss poor advice you received, you did real well picking out the parts yourself. I don't see anything that could have been improved upon.

As for SATA DVD/CD drives, they are not true native SATA devices yet. They have a built in IDE to SATA converter so you would not gain a single iota of speed out of any current SATA DVD drive.

The difference in speed from your PC listed in your sig is gonna blow your mind, enjoy!
