What is the system being used for, and what are the specs of the components you already have?

Yes it should be, but you'll need to tell me what the other parts are as well.

Your motherboard supports the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad chips. The other thing we need to know is how much you are looking to spend.
Whatever your budget is a DVD drive is a simple choice. There are a lot of great dirt cheap burners out there but the Samsung SH-S223F is the one I would recommend (Unless you are looking for blu-ray).

Yes it does, as most 'value' brand PSUs are not only unreliable, they're also unsafe.

buy a decent power supply, such as an Antec Earthwatts or Corsair VX.
