Ok, you guys. We ALL have to face the truth. The ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe is currently THE BEST (IMO) motherboard currently being made. It has matched DFI's highest overclock on XtremeSystems.org, it has dual x16 PCIe lanes, and it has a silent copper heatpipe chipset cooler. If he can afford it, he should get it. And normally, I would recommend Antec, but with a PC this expensive, you DO NOT want to skimp on anything that could potentially damage the system. PCP&C it is. BTW, NO Antec power supply is better or even as good as the PC Power and Cooling power supply I have recommended. They make the absolute best power supplies, at a price, but it is a very good investment, becuase it has a 70% efficiency rating, meaning that it only uses as much power as it needs at any given time, saving you money on your electricity bill.
