ASUS A8N SLI
2 GIG Corsair MEM
320GB SATA II
EVGA 7900GT SUPERCLOCKED KO
X-FI Soundcard
DVD Burner
DVD Rom
20.1" Widescreen Mon

Runnig XP PRO SP2.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I've done a lot of research and I've overclocked my own rig. Mainly looking for thoughts on CPU/GPU.

unless he has really good speaker system, ditch the x-fi. Dont get the superclocked video card, it's not worth it IMO as you can just overclock it yourself. And what's your budget?
