Yes, like if you need to flash your BIOS. Since some mobo's can only be flashed with a floppy disc.

That setup looks very good.

heh, man if you want to get something WAY better than that... build it... professional builds are not better (in the case if you built it would tear the computer to shreds, if u get these parts and build)
if you are nervous about not knowing how to build read this and also the motherboard manual will have picture by picture instructions... and you can't mess anything up by forcing stuff because everything only goes in one way...

if you want a WAY better machine for the money then get these parts and assemble them:

$1458

(the Ram is DDR500 but it will underclock to DDR400 to work with the mobo...)


so that computer would be a major beast feast compared to the other one you were thinking of buying

So, is this completely ALL I would need? Should I change anything?

I have an XP CD here, so no need to buy it.

The guy said above the PCU will need to be clocked to work with my mobo... How and the hell am I going to be capable of doing that? heh

The 4200+ is clocked the same as the 4400+, it just has double the cache. In gaming that isnt really important, instead get a better video card with the money saved from a cheaper processor.
