Do NOT get the Liteon drive... they're terrible! LG has worked the best for me.
Yeah, if you're a loser, okay

Been using this for maybe seven months now, no problems. Excellent drive
Those are both fine, but you don't need the lightscribe.

lol @ buying pentium d and $120+ on motherboard and case, what a waste of money

I recommend you do more reading about the P5B Deluxe. Just google you'll find many complaints about high temperatures. I almost bought the same board today and decided all these complaints couldn't be ignorant users.
Decided to go with the ASUS P5W DH DELUXE INTEL 975X CHIPSET instead. $185 at www.mwave.com, appears to be a somewhat superior board (and better chipset for gaming) than the one you listed, all for $5 more.
The Power Supply unit is one of the most important purchases you can make. The Case+PSU you linked has a complaint about the PSU blowing up.
I highly recommend you purchase a case that you can use for many years, and separately purchase a power supply unit that is highly rated. A bad PSU can shorten the life of all your other components. Read power supply reviews at www.tomshardware.com and let the experts recommend a tested one. They include economical choices in their reviews, too.

Yes. Looks like the reviews on newegg are 5 star and no negatives. Wonder why newegg charges $9 more then mwave.com.

I google'd my mobo, and it didn't really say anything about it overheating.

You know, almost the same with its heat problems, differing core, differing clock, differing cache, differing series, and just in general being much more awful, since Conroe is just infinitely better than Presler
But hey, don't let me get in the way of your delusions

Getting a Conroe instead of a Presler??
Duh....

Updated. What do you guys think?
CPU is okay, but what happend to the mobo and RAM we talked about? Did it go over budget?
I have the same cpu and a BFG 8600GTS.
You won't be dissapointed. The CPU is amazing. You might want to look into an aftermarket heatsink to consider overclocking possibilities in the future.
Check out pioneers sata burner, it's what I have, and very good.
Why MSI? I have the Asus P5K mobo and love it. Are you an avid overclocker? The boards only complaint is the placement of the IDE controller, and purported "vdroop" of the vcore.
Both rather inconsequential when you consider the benefits.
I don't know how to overclock at all, so I probably won't be overclocking.

Which PSU should I get?
And cefx, I didn't go with the P5K because of the comments Grok said about it. Should I still go with it? Or is mine fine?
That's your call.
He was referring to the P5B Deluxe, not the P5K. He has a P5W.
His model has a remote and lets you control a few things with their "digital home" technology, as well as the Wi-Fi AP (really sexy). The perk of the P5K is the Intel P35 chipset that will support newer processors yet to be released. It supports a lot of neat stuff.
Maybe you'd want the P5K-E Deluxe or P5K Deluxe WiFi.

I think that's what it will be..
I'm getting a case with a PSU because all the good cases without a PSU are really expensive. So I'm going to get a good case with a PSU and replace it with one that I'm buying.
