First of all u've selected a wrong section to post this thread.........
please check this thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71700
I think you'l get ur answers.

Regd. ur queries........It'l depend on ur budget........
I believe "ChotoCheetah"'s comments u better poke him to comment on ur rig......
Gfx Card: go for 9600GT-256MB will come within 8k or a little more
Ram: wat is some Ram? this is one of the important parts of ur pc, don't negotiate here........if gaming............go for G-skill or Corsair...
DVD-Writer: Samsung SH203B........I'm using it for 2months.......its very silent and best in market till date.
With ur budget for speaker, go for 2.1 u'l get a very much powerful one.......

I can't give an one-line answer to ur query........sorry:p

2 months ago my 2 room-mates bought mobile phones.......sony and nokia.....
We searched all phone shops in and out THANE.......

MobileStore
BigBazar
Subhiksha
(HIgh in position high in price)

MobileStore-Price is good but as compared to BigBazar and Subhiksha its costly. They promise for free gift and u'll get only tour package which is only one way.......:D
BigBazar-Price and collection good
Subhiksha-Price is lowest compared to all these. U can call them anytime, no is flashed in TV everyday.
If u still want ME to get d price u've to wait till tomorrow afternoon:D

Change the board to Abit Ip35e
ur hard driver will work as it has 1pata post which u can use to connect 2 hard drives.
Don't buy just some ram.get corsair or kingston ram.
Samsung 19inch would b perfect.
