Basicly
Im hoping to build a computer in time before the holiday break.
I have a setup in mind, but i need to know what to worry about for graphics compatibility and if i can find a cheap hard drive and Cd drive to complete the setup, take a gander at the links beow

Im wondering what i will need for these to work, any cheap completion items (I already have all external stuff like a monitor,mouse etc.)Im a first time builder but before i buy id love advice.
Any other talk about an OS will be appreciated, my budget is set at $650 but of course i dont want to spend every penny.
Thanks ahead

The only other thing missing is a power supply but I wouldn't recommend the combo you linked. The original Phenom processors are outdated and weren't that great even when they were released. For the money you have to spend you should be going for a Phenom II x4 system. For the OS I would recommend win7 64-bit.
Are you going to be gaming? If so what is the native resolution of your monitor?

For the native resolution it is 1440x900, and do you know where i should look for a combo like that. Also about the OS where can i find a cheap copy to buy?Also the case they showed has a supply for power included

I would figure out what you want first then try to find combos that fit that if possible rather than letting the combos dictate what you get.
With your budget I recommend something along the lines of this;

That totals $560. You can order Windows 7 from newegg for $100 so that's a lil over your budget I guess but those are all quality components that should serve you well including gaming at 1440 x 900.

Realized I forgot a DVD burner but those are pretty cheap, under $20. If the total is a bit much you could go with a cheaper case and/or motherboard. Also there will probably be some decent deals leading up to Christmas if you keep an eye out.
