How do those work together? Again, I was trying to copy off of an already made list of parts for a system but I couldnt find the exact parts.

Not a bad PSU, but not worth $80.

Why not go with a dual core CPU? The X2 3800+ is the same price.

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic $121.99

What's it for? The integrated is fine for most purposes.

Yes, it's they're all compatible. What will the system be used for?

i'd ditch the x-fi and get 2gb dual channel instead

Games like BF2 or WoW or WC3, he doesnt want to spend 3grand like my new comp but I know he cant get decently good for BF2 an stuff for under 1k, so I am trying to get him one made for 1k or so.

Instead of spending the extra money on the x-fi go with a audigy zs. They are still very good. Or another option is the audugy 4 for about the same price of about $75usd.
