Friend of mine that hasn't built a computer in a while asked me to look into a build for him in teh price range of $1,000 - $1,500. his biggest consern is to have a really good audio card for his music. i know absolutely nothing about audio cards so put something in my pricing that looked good. i am using my last build for a model of something to work off of. some items were updated since some parts are no longer available. suggestions on what to change or lower cost alittle are appreciated.
