tough decisions... I'd get the dvd-burner, you can always use it in the new system... one thing that you wont have to buy later when you build the new computer. assuming that you're going that route.

I don't know if I'm going to build it or just purchase a new tower.

Time and money are likely going to be two of the major factors--not to mention that I have little experience building computers (much of my skill lies with the OS's)...
