Additionally an optical drive is unecessary these days unless you want an all-in-one HTPC. The last two PC's I built don't have them, and didn't need them. You can install Windows from a usb flash drive, and it is quite easy to do. Hell, I bought a laptop in 2011 that cost an extra $75 because it had a blu-ray drive, and I used the blu-ray drive probably twice, and both times it was a hassle because the laser was super sensitive and wouldn't read blu-ray discs unless I would clean it with alcohol. Optic drives will go the way of floppy, not necessary/side uses for compatibility with old resources. Not to mention you can get an external dvd reader/writer for something like $15.
