Yes, the DVD burner will write CD's as well. If money is a problem, you could leave out the sound card for the time being but the onboard sound will use some of the 1GB of RAM and can lower gaming performance.

For a sound card you could get an Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102178
It's not current generation but it's less expensive and still quite good. If money is not a concern, get the Creative SB X-FI. On the other hand you didn't list any speakers. Do you have that already?

I'm not too crazy about the Aspire line of power supplies but not having personal experience with them, I can't condemn them outright, although the specs on the one you list seem okay. Brands I would recommend include Antec, Enermax, FPS (Fortron), Seasonic, Mushkin, Corsair, Power PC & Cooling, OCZ, Tagan and Sparkle among others.

Are you sure the Upgrade version of Windows is appropriate for your new build? If it's a new build, what are you upgrading from? Perhaps you want XP Pro Retail. You might want to consider the OEM version but note there are limitations with OEM. The OEM version is less expensive but you can't really transfer it to another PC later. That said, I use Windows XP Home OEM myself.

But regardless, what you listed is compatible as far as I can see.

1. This is a better choice of case, since it's cheaper than the AeroCool one, looks a lot cooler, and comes with a high-quality Antec PSU, so it will save u a lot of cash.

2. Why are you getting an Athlon 64 when the Core 2 Duos are out? Get this mobo and this processor. Not only does it work out slightly cheaper, it will give u a system more powerful than that AMD one u were originally planning for.

3. This 7600GT is a lot cheaper and will have the same performance as the eVGA one u posted.

4. Sound-card wise, this sound card is my pick. It has all the features of the Audigy, but is less cheaper and of good quality too.

5. And lastly, why get a CRT when u can get a better LCD for only $14 more? This is the one I'm talking about.

The above recommendations will more than likely save u around $40-$50 and get u a system better than the one u originally planned for. Cheers!
