What should I buy??

[jmoore2001]

Ok, so I just got my financial aid refund, so I have about $1000 to spend (if I want to) so I'm wanting input on what I could/should get?

I don't necessarily want to spend all of it, but I could if something was just really cool. Right now I have an Athlon machine and prefer to stay AMD for now. I'm using an nforce2 mobo.

Things I don't want to upgrade are case and monitor, so don't mention them.

I read about the LG Electronics GSA-4040B (supports all types of DVD-R/+R, etc.was wondering how good it was.

So any suggestions?

first of all, what are your specs?

How about some kick butt speakers.

That config looks good to me as is, it's better then my system.

I would say replace the speakers or get a DVD writer.

get some nice speakers (logitech z680s) and a nice sound card (audigy 2 or santa cruz). then maybe get a better processor. also a DVD RW drive would be a good idea. everything else u have is pretty good.
