if someone wastes 400 on a sound card, they're out of thier mind. Invest it in the stock market or open a CD at a bank or SOMETHING.

Maybe they would benefit from a 400 dollar sound card, because they're a hardcore audiophile. Maybe a non-gamer thinks 500 for a gpu is alot.FghtinIrshNvrDi said:

i've been in fresno for the past few days ... what im going to build costs ~2400
i decided that maybe 8000 dollars was a bit much, considering the fact that if i spend less now, and still have top of the line. ..ill have money to build another top of the line 3 years from now
athlon 64 x2 4800+
2GB corsair pc3200
havent decided on harddrives yet

dude 8000 was a bit too much but I would at least round up to $3000.
For the Hard Drives, I suggest 2 x 250GB Western Digital Caviar SE SATAII Hard Drives, and a 74GB 10,000RPG Western Digital Caviar.
For the motherboard;
DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR. Thats pretty much unanimous.
For the sound card; Creative Sound blaster X-Fi. It may seem more expensive than other sound cards, but the X-Fi has amazing sound and once you use it, you won't want to go back.
Power Supply;
Thermaltake Silent power 680W PSU.
Mouse;
Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse.
I know you want to save money, but since you're buiding a top-of-the-line system, those are the parts to go with.
Nice to see you came to your senses and realized $8000 was way too much, though.

omg...are you joking? $8000??!!
a $2000 computer would do very, very good, and just upgrade every 2-3 years. this would save you lots of money than spending $5000 at once on today's best parts
