just get the Ultra-D board if you're not going SLI. you can also mode them to an SLI-D or SLI-DR
get the LG 4163B drive instead, it is really fast, actually does get to its rated speeds, and is quiet.
go down to an Audigy 2 Value. you really won't notice any sound difference (unless you are superhuman)
although if you really want the ZS, you can actually softmod the Value.
download these drivers (ISO, 549MB!!) or these (EXE, 263MB!) and this compatibility patch
here or here are some instructions on how to install them (the second is translated from Italian by Google)
and I'd suggest an X2 4400+ Toledo, or at least a 3800+ Manchester.

Total is under 2500, and it will be awesomely fast. I did a LOT of research, and I think for the price, thats abou the best I could do. Comes with a monitor and all, with upgradability.

Im fairly intent on going SLI, so later down the road i can chuck in another 256 mb graphics card when needed.
as for the x2's, although it may be future proof, I've been told by many, that its only worth it for multitasking high end programs. Realitsically, Im only really going to be doing high priority thing at a time, and I really want as much grunt as i can get.
