Ok, I would so like totally go for a Intel Core2 processors like the E6300. The graphics card seems good. But why a DVD reader? Better get a writer… I didnt even know they sold readers that much anymore. 2gb ram is good to have.
if you don’t play games, you might want to get a cheaper vid card. Also, core 2 duo is definitly a must have, it is much superior to the Pentium D’s.
The P5W series is good, and if you are going with core 2 duo, considering overclocking it, these chips can do amazingly high clocks and therefore a slight bump from 2.1Ghz (e6400 spec) to 2.6ghz isn’t dangerous at all.
