Hello! new here, just wanted to ask some questions.

Hey! So about to build my second computer, but stuck on one thing, optical drives.

Whats the difference between them? I know the basics, like support for blueray and such, but im stuck on which i should buy, i want to watch blueray movies on my computer, but still want to be able to read from DVDs and CDs as well as write / burn onto DVDs and CDs, as well as Bluerays possibly. is there a optical drive that does it all? I know there are stickers on the drives so what do i look for?

Bluray drives will always read DVDs and CDs, you just need to find a Bluray drive that burns them as well. Here's a link to some on NewEgg:

cheapest one (on that site), seems to do all of the above.
