For DVD ATA/66 is ok. The drive you mentioned above looks ok to me.

Alright, thanks a lot guys. Also I'm wondering. Am I paying too much for the LCD Monitor?

I wouldn't get a monitor at anything less than 1600x1200. If you can't shell out the $500 for an LCD that can do this, go with a CRT that can.

If your hard drive doesn't spin at 10,000 RPM or higher, there's absolutely no reason to use SATA. Stick with ATA100, it's only about ten dollars cheaper but won't slow you down at all.

Also, NVIDIA SUCKS.
Ask me about my secret stash of videos that can't be found anywhere anymore.
