Nice specs you got there.





Yes, A DVD Writer would might come in handy. Try a sony 8GB (Dual Layer) DVD writer. I have one here and its really durable and its very convenient for me since I'm fond of downloading stuffs like movies, songs, and some docs.





You've not mentioned a hard drive on your spec. Well.. assuming that you've already got one (maybe an 80GB tank). A 250GB HD tank would also be convenient (if you're in for a large collection of music and movies. This way, you'll spare your CD/DVD drive from too much use. I suggest dont go beyond 250GB HD. Its a big disk space already. If you're still not contented.. well buy another 250GB tank.


HINT: When one 250GB HD bogged down, You still have your spare HD working.





If ever you dont need to much of the stuff mentioned above, you might also wanted to use your spare slots as an extra exhaust. This might help your system to be cooler at runtime. All you have to do is to buy a front panel cooling system from your PC hobbyist shop and install them on your front slots.





Actually, you dont have to be bothered by those extra spaces on your CPU because (in my personal opinion) it is better to run with less peripherals.This way you'll find your PC running in less electric consumpiton and cooler temp.

If you have to ..then preferably use two drives from two different manufacturers like ...LG and Samsung for example
I have to ask, what is this PC for?





I don't see a graphics card listed and if you're not gaming the e6600 is major overkill.





Also, with the incredibly cheap prices of RAM, why not go for 2gb? You can get a 2gb kit of Geil performance RAM from newegg for like $75.





I would go with a Pioneer 112d DVD burner.





A small 80gb hard drive (for XP and programs) paired with a 320gb hard drive would give you much better performance than a single 500gb. You could also put the Windows pagefile on the 320gb storage drive for much better performance.





Better yet, tell me your buget and what you want the PC to do and I'll make a good parts list from newegg.com
lite on CD rom
you have only choosen a cd rom I would put a couple of dvdrw's in.
