I will probably install a standard dvd-rw drive.
I am hoping that i can use the integrated graphic instead of buying a dedicated graphics card.

Also, will i need a fan and heatsink for the processor, or does it come with one?

Thanks

One quick answer: if you're getting a retail boxed CPU, yes, it'll come with the heatsink and fan. Also, you might want to get one of these to be on the safe-side, for when you put it together.
