Budget $5000

in this price range you have to know what he's looking at using it for.

You could easily build up a quad itanium, dual GPU box that would DESTROY everything. You may also consider adding some solid state memory. It's really nice, just insanely expensive. Let you load your OS almost as fast as the computer can post. If you want to overclock it, don't bother with water cooling. Stick with freon. I've seen freon based coolers that can hold chip temp at -30C at full load. There is no way you'll ever have thermal issues with that.

Thank you everybody, also where would i get a Freon cooler?
I think I'll go with this

AMD Athlon 64 FX60
DFI uT SLI-DR Expert
WD Rapter 150GB 10K HDD
PC Power and Cooling 850W PSU
2 * BFG 7800GTX 512MB
4GB OCZ Enhanced Bandwidth DDR-500 RAM
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Sound Card
Logitech X-5500 Speakers
Razer Copperhead Mouse
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Not sure about the monitor.

Make sure you get a monitor that can display at least 1600 X 1200 because otherwise your wasting the potential of the rig.

Freon coolers (The corect term is phase change, and they dont usualy use Freon, usualy wierd gasses with names like RC-445...) can be purchased from Asetek and Prometeria. OCZ is also coming out with one later on. The Prometeria mach II has the best performance of a prebuilt one. I think its like ~$900 for one with a CPU head and two graphic card heads.

IMHO its not worth it unless your client is trying to brake OC world records.

I would HIGHLY suggest waiting till the end of this month or the end of Febuary because the new G71 series will be comming out. As for the monitor i suggested before the Samsung 32" HDTV LCD

Alright, I'll wait for the M2 and the Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX

The Samsung 32" monitor looks awesome. Thanks
