I wouldnt recomend a FX 5200 and roswell is verry good, however if you want to burn DVDs i would recomend a plextor PX-712A DVD-Burner, there only $80 now...

yes, but whats the intent of the machine? homework, internet, games, ...etc
Heehee ;)


but I don't have a DL DVD drive yet
You're not missing much ;)

internet, watching tv, dvd copying, tv programs copy to dvd
Well unless you plan on getting a separate TV tuner card, grabbing somethng like the Radeon AIW9600 would probably be the best route

well i just got my christmas present early a Rosewill R710N (Black) 17 in. Flat Panel LCD Monitor the replace my old Dell E771p 17 in. CRT Conventional Monitor, and i'm very happy with, but the colors and text are a little funny looking, but i'm getting used to it now. saves lots of space on my desk. now i'm thinking about getting a 19'' Rosewill from Newegg.com. they seen to have fast service there. i order it on sat nite (12/04) and got it today (12/13).

thinking about getting the 19'' one already have 17'' one
I dunno ... thats more of a personal decision (and one of finances) but 19" is a (bigger than you'd think) improvement over 17"
