Hi everyone. Everyone has been great help. Here's the specs on the rig I'm planning on ordering tonight. Just wanted some feedback. Mainly for gaming, a bit of overclocking. I have an Antec 900 case and monitor (22" ). Should I get a floppy drive? Thanks

You really don't need a floppy these days, but they're dirt cheap so it wouldn't hurt. Why just a 2.1 speaker setup? Logitech makes some fairly cheap but nice quality surround sound systems (X530 or X540) that would make gaming much more fun. Pair those with a cheap, descent Creative card (I bought my Audigy2 ZS for $40 refurbished from Creative's eBay store).

I did 2.1 because of where the computer is going. I don't have a place to put any other speakers. Another question - any good CPU coolers for the commando MB that will fit ok in the case?
