Sadly he wont have more money for the core 2 due sets or a sound card. Witch is ok for this mid rang computer. I do like the monitors you have shown, very nice. Thats probally all his funds for right now. I also figures the 6800 series would keep him good till either he got more money or if he needed more power just overclock the it for a little more power and just get another fan for the side bays.
Still no one has answer my 1st qunestion really. With what I have so far, will it all work togather? (read 1st post) From what I have read tho so far is, I need a biger case for verything Citizen has nicely pointed out.
