Sound card I wouldn't waste the money on unless you're really going all out on sound. Sounds like you got it all

To start things off, do you have a budget? If so what is it, and, what would you like to be able to do on this PC?

For sound all I really want is 5.1, nothing major.

My budget, around 1000.

And a must! For this PC, is that it HAS to play Battlefield 2. I've been waiting since it came out to play it, and I put a crap load of money into my current PC, but still can't play it : /

But yeah gaming is the major use for it.

Let me try to get a list put together. What about peripherals, do you need keyboard mouse speakers and a monitor?
