I've picked the following parts and I can't decide on the rest. I'll just post what I have so far and I'm hoping someone can help me pick the rest (monitor, keyboard, hard drive, PSU, etc.)

COOLER MASTER CAVALIER 3 CAV-T03-UW Silver Aluminum/Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

CHAINTECH VNF4/Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

eVGA 128-P2-N368-TX Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

fUnc SU-BK-BK Surface 1030 Black Base Mousepad - Retail

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3500BPBOX - Retail

Update Logitech MX518 931352-0403 2-Tone 8 Buttons 1x Wheel USB + PS/2 Optical Mouse - Retail

For monitors I did a little research and I narrowed it down to a few . . . I'm still open to suggestions though:

Viewsonic VX924

Viewsonic VP191B

Samsung 930BF

From what I read these monitors are primarily for gaming . . . I'm not sure what that means but does it matter if he's going to be watching movies and stuff too?

He also needs speakers. His budget is somewhere around $1300. Thanks.
 
Did you buy that for a friend? I wish my friends bought me stuff. Or, are you just helping him pick out stuff because he's computer illiterate like half of my friends?
 
If you don't mind overclocking get the venice 3000+. Up it to a modest 2.4ghz and call it good :) Thats if you want to pour more money into some other component.
