is this a good computer for gaming? will i be able to use a ide harddrive and a ide dvd burner with this at the same time or will there be a problem? is there a better motherboard that you can reccomend around that price range? which of these ram is better? and is the powersupply good enough. and what would be a good gaming keyboard and gaming wireless mouse.

ya thats a good setup.
the motherboard looks good for its price.
the middle RAM. the OCZ titanium.
powersupply looks good but i would spend a little bit more for a better one.
a good gamingkeyboard and wireless mouse is the logitech G15 and G7

upcoming AMD is the fx-60 (or it may be out, i dont know) but anyway thats out of your price range and is useless basically since you will have very nice results with the 4400

deff. up the powersuplly

also, look at the epox motherboard, the one around $105. it has firewire, and is know to be more reliable.

is this powersupply better than the other one. will i be able to use a ide harddrive and a ide cd/dvd drive at the same time with either motherboard. will that powersupply work with a sli setup or will it be underpowered and is that a good brand or is it just a overprice powersupply.

ya it is good for sli.but the watts do seem low. and it nice that it includes the zip ties so you can organize the cables.

edit:
just found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931
and if you get the CPU combo you save a few bucks

first of all, yes you can have up to four devides (i.e. two cd drive and two hdds) on your mobo. that is if you have the cables with two connectors on one end.

second, i dont know about the brand of that power supply, but it seemed to get good reviews on newegg, and seems to have plenty of amps on the 12v rails. you might wanna look and see if you can find something similar for less money. i dont know though, because i have never had to shop for an sli power supply before.:p

silver. its in my sig. but i think silver and black are the two best looking. dont know if newegg carries the silver anymore though. wasnt in stock last time i checked. imo the yellow, orange, and green ones look a little goofy:p
