    Hey guys, I've been out of the PC world since about 2001. I'm looking for a new PC (either bought or build myself).

    Here is a place that recommended this for me. What do you guys think?

    I want to be able to use my current LG DVD drive (rw/ram etc) and keep my existing sound card which is a SB Live Audigy 2 platinum EX. I would just transfer these things over to the new box.

    What do you guys think? Anything from that list I should change/remove/upgrade?

    Thanks in advance!

    Depends what the PC is for. There are some pretty terrible quality parts in that build, so it needs some work, but how best to modify it depends on what you're using it for.

    Hey there, thanks for the feedback.

    Im going to be using the PC for web, converting movie files (mkv->m2ts) to stream to the ps3 (which will be stored on a 1.5TB external drive.) Was also thinking I'd like to have an external eSata port to use with the external drive.

    I'll also be using the PC to get back into some basic guitar recording etc. This is why I was going to continue to use my old soundcard (It has an 1/4" jack for my guitar setup)

    I dont do any gaming on the pc at all.
