I'm about to attempt to build a gaming computer for about $800

First I was wondering what some of you computer knowledgable folks thought about these for a system.

Any problems I might run across? Products I need to reconsider? Other comments? Thanks in advance.

Looks fine, u need an optical drive and an OS also.
I have a dvd burner on another comp I'd carry over. Also, would I be able to install Windows XP from a different computer's disk?

by diff computers disk, do you mean a windows xp install disk that was used on another computer?

if yes, then you can use it but it must first be removed from the diff computer before you use it on your new one(legally).

That's what I was wondering, thanks =]
