Thanks again for your advice.
I don't need a DVD burner because my laptop already has one, also i'm
quite happy with my current case.
I've gone to newegg and picked a mobo that I felt would fit my needs now
and in the future. The mobo has 3 PCI slots but also has 2 additional
PCI express 1x and 2 PCI express 16x slots which could be used for
future expansion. In addition it has 2 pata ports allowing me to use my
3 hard drives and dvd drive. I also considered this mobo *ECS PF88

only had 1 PCI express 1x slot and was only $10 less after rebate. Also
i'm more comfortable buying from NVidia. Can you see any problems with
this hardware? Also my power supply is a 450w Anantech, I think that
should be enough power for this configuration. What do you think?
Once again, thanks a bunch for your advice.
