Good cheap CD Drive?

My build:

Can anyone suggest a decent drive that I can play games from? I have literally no idea when it comes to drives so if someone could suggest a decent cheap one that will fit that I can buy in the Uk I would be greatly appreciative.

You can find it for 20-30 bucks, I put these in everything I build. Never had a single problem.

just get any cd drive and don't spend more than 15 euros because other that installing windows you will rarely use it because almost all games are downloaded over the internet

Yeah I agree with this, you could also get a cheap LG or Samsung external DVD drive since that way you can use it when you need it and it's not there when you don't need it. You can install operating system from the external by setting your BIOS to use USB as primary boot device.

I know everyone does this but I have a 5mbps down... it would take me like 12 hours to download something such as battlefield which I believe is around 30GB. Therefore, I need one that will read games and stuff but I dunno what to look for so I may have to go with the samsung that OriginalCadever suggested unless someone suggests otherwise what would be the best solution?

I have never had a single issue with this drive. There are cheaper ones out there, but you're talking a minuscule difference.
