I need a OD for this build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Its_Joshua_S/saved/#view=3WdNnQ

I dont really care about the specs, as long as it can play the video at the dvds original quality

and it looks nice.

It shouldnt look like this thing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D2CO8WO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=roucb_a_2-20&ascsubtag=328357133-1-828085996.1481346267&SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA

Like, i mean by the design. Is there something that is fully black and looks nice?

Since i have a nice build, i dont want it to be ruined by a od.

My PC Currently Is The P2-1320a.

The case you chose has no place for an optical drive. the one you linked is grey because it is hidden inside the computer and will not be seen at all, only the front part where you put disc will be visible. What you need is external optical drive that connects with USB port. If you want internal ones (which are nicer and perform better in most case) then you need another case. Technically you can still wire the internal OD that you link but it will be ugly af

that thing you linked that you said was ugly is fine. you don't see the silver parts.

also, your case (Eclipse p400) doesn't have a slot for a DVD reader. no 5.25 inch bays at all. it's obsolete media.

That case does not have 5.25" bays, so you can't put in a optical drive in that case.

Meh.

Programs don't come on CDs anymore

the only thing on CDs are movies, but those can be streamed, and nobody watches movies on their PC anyway
