    One thing I noticed with AMD is the cooler is cheap, maybe if you can invest in a better one, you will like the results.

    For the DVD rom- can't help you out never bought a sony before... :)

    All in all you should be able to build the system no problem.

    Should I buy a fan or a video card with a better fan?

    What's the primary intended use of the machine?

    Hard drive: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Green WD8000AARS 800GB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
    Good for a storage drive, but not as a system drive.

    A WD Blue, Black or Samsung F3 or Seagate Barracuda etc (7200rpm drives) would be better.

    You can't use DDR2 RAM with that board. It's an AM3, and you'll need to buy DDR3 RAM for it.

    And this would be a better CPU, IMO. And it's only $10 more:

    Ok then for the ram I will use this:
    Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

    The hard drive too:
    Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3750528AS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    Also I changed the processor to the one above


    Any more suggestions?

    Umm... I just got one last question


    This video card: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100293L Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Low Profile Ready Video Card

    Interface
    Interface PCI Express 2.1 x16

    And the motherboard: Newegg.com - ECS Black Series A890GXM-A AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

    Expansion Slots
    PCI Express 2.0 x16 3 x PCI Express Gen 2.0 x16 slots
    Note: The third PCIEX16 only support bandwidth x4
    PCI Express x1 2

    The video card will work on a PCI express 2.0?
