Swap out the Audigy 2 ZS for the Audigy 4 Pro and you would do better. You could spend a little more for a Sony 52x cd writer and be able to backup a large variety of files as well as software disks. With the right software you could also create and burn vcds. With dual video cards the ATI CrossFire looks even better. The Acer AL1951C does offer the fastest response time. But shop around for beter prices on lcds. On the Premium model Asus board a friend had to return two of those in a row when they were found defective. He finally decided on a different model rather then make.
