Im kinda wanting an Intel CPU ( i like Core 2 Duos ) (BUT im still up for anything lol) Im not big in the hard drive, im pretty good with my 160gig hard drive that i have right now. OR if i could just switch the Hard drives from the computer im using right now and put it into the new one. I would defintly like Some decent size RAM (1gig?) ......

1 gig ram is definitely insufficient. You never know what kind of new game may require more ram. 2 gig, recommended

u only need to have 2 DVD burners if u do alot of burning, if u do just get 2 of the ones i put into my build. yes they are both 2G but maroon1s build has 2x 1G sticks mine in 1x 2G stick, it would be better if u got 1x 2G stick cos u only have 2 slots on that mother board, an if u put 1x 2G stick, later on u can put another stick on that board.
