and i dont what dvd burner to pick from newegg looking for sata 22x lightscribe optional

can someone recommend something pls


thanks
 
upgrading the cpu to the Phenom will give you the chance in unlock the 2 additional cores the phenom has...but if your not interested in that, the X2 250 is still a very solid option to go with...

you dont need to buy the additional sata cable since your mobo should come with them in the box...

I would go with a Western Digital hard drive but if the Hitachi is much cheaper, then just go for it...

As others have said, go for a better psu...
 



my motherboard cant unlock the 2 additional cores 🙁

the pic shows it comes with 2 sata cables, but the reviews says it only comes with one and the info too

thanks
 


thanks but small problems, the specs says there is 2 sata connectors

but the reviews and other info says there is 4 🙁

and everyone says rosewill power supplies are bad, why is that?
