It's been a while since I was up to date with computer parts. My current build runs off an e6600. Im thinking about taking a look at quad core for this one.
The machine is for a friend. Not much of a gamer, he's a musician and will be using it for recording. The machine needs to be snappy while running cpu intensive DAW programs, multiple tabs in firefox, and tons of stuff left open all the time.
Anyway, here's a link to my newegg list. Im trying to do the best I can with a $650 budget (after rebates).

OH, and there are 2 graphics cards because I'm not sure which to go with. Not a serious gamer but will play some from time to time.
