spotted a few problems

1.) if you have 3 memory sticks, you cant run the memory in dual channel mode

2.) that power supply is terrible. I have that PSU, and i've heard nothing but bad responces regarding it, and the dynapower brand. You might need to get an FSP group for about 60 dollars.

3.) get a retail DVD burner. they usually come with DVD burning software, and in some cases DVD playback software

It gives a 5-7% boost in memory performance by doubling the amount of bandwidth in memory.

Did you heed my word not to get that PSU?

People still buy AMD CPU's? I swap that out with an intel C2d or perhaps a Quad core, now that they have come down in price.

probably because the person who rated it didnt experience anything detrimental. but trust me on this, rosewill is a known cheapo brand. the PSU is $55, but it i gurantee it doesnt have the features that a decent brand power supply would.

cuz they're not putting those products under full load, they haven't owned them that long, and are sometimes not experts when it comes to PSUs

You are pinching pennies where you shouldn't...just because the specs look good on paper, doesn't mean a thing. I'd be surprised if this thing ran reliably.

The case aint bad. you might want to get a motherboard with a better chipset than that one. maybe a nforce 590 since your on a budget. the power supply is not so good. it really has zero extra features which is why its only $50. With computer parts you almost always get what you pay for. If you wanted a decent 500watt power supply youd prolly have to shell out $20-$30 more bucks. But you get what you pay for.
