Dont need sound Card
Dont need ethernet card

Absolutely no reason to get a blue and a black caviar HDD.
Go WD caviar black 640GB x2 (Many great reasons, just take my word)

Any DVD, doesn't really madder, just not LG


No reason for 260. Go ATI. DX 11 ftw

You can get a 5700 series for less money, or you can get a 5800 series for top of the line for not much more

Okay so Im going to ditch the gtx 260 and trying this instead:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102858&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Video+Cards-_-Sapphire+Tech-_-14102858

What do you think?

also, You didn't mention the question about which pc cooler I should buy?

Another thing, So the ethernet and sound is coming from the mobo, yes?


Go WD caviar black 640GB x2 (Many great reasons, just take my word)

Will it do fine for xp and win 7?


Any tips for me will always be welcome! :sol:

Yes 5770, No need for water cooling on 3.5ghz, yes use the onboard sound and ethernet, yes for caviar black x2 or spinpoint f3 500gbx2 or 1x1tb(as fast or faster than blacks).
