that is just a stupid and wotrthless post
you just tell him the parts he needs and don't even explain why
AMD64 Venice 3200+ retail --> yes
Abit fatal1ty gets owned by the DFI lanparty, it has japanese capacitors more better stabilization and OCs way better --> DFI lanparty ultra-d
BFG 6800GT OC - now why this?? - they bump the frequencyies up by 30mhz or something and just sell it like that, you can easily download coolbits2 and raise the frequencies yourself; also, i've heard that BFG's OC bad --> eVGA 6800GT
creative audigy2; $200 for a card that doesn't even sound as good as a $90 m-audio? there's no need for a crap overpriced card --> turtle beach "santa cruz"
WD 160gb SATA --> seagate 200gb SATA, seagates are much quieter and more reliable
pioneer dvd-rw drive --> NEC 3510A, the NEC are best all around and won first place in the anandtech review on optical drives; the pioneer sucks at everything except DVD burning
PCP&C 425 deluxe, good psu, but OCZ's are also good & cheaper --> OCZ powerstream 500W (or the PCP&C)
lian-li cases are good, but so are Thermaltakes and can be bought for a little cheaper (some of them)
OCZ plat rev2's; good ram, but if he wants something cheaper, he can go with the 1gb twinMOS ram @ newegg for $94.35
mouse and keyboard are his choice, he might even be using his old one (btw, that saitek looks like crap IMO)
