Something like this would do nicely. Come back closer to ordering as it will change quite a bit by then. New intel processors and Nvidia graphics cards are on the way.

The processor is not overclockable. You would be looking at an extra €90 for the overclockable parts and a cooler to make use of it. This would allow you to get close to 4.5ghz though. 50% higher than the stock speed of the processor I have here.

That's a DVD ROM drive. Yeah, I'd wait to see what's on the market in 2 months if you're not buying until then. Otherwise, I'd check out an AMD system if you need to shave off some money. Their new price cuts make them very competitive, and a CPU like the FX6300 is very good value.

People still burn cds/dvds?

They're handy for giving someone a disposable data medium when you don't want to use USB drives and when internet is not an appropriate solution.

Anyway, it's only €4 more.

I don't have any drive in my machine. I only put it in so people can install windows from the dvd.

Usb flash drives are so cheap it's practically a disposable data medium.
