a friends pc is having performance problems (getting 8000 in 3dmark06 100 fps in sourse and wont play crysis nicely)

spec
e7200 cpu
gigabyte ga-p31-ds3l
8800gs asus gpu
2gb 800mhz ocz ram
160gb diamonmax hdd
460w coolermaster psu
arcic freezer pro cpu cooler
plenty of case cooling (coolermaster elite)

so he bought a lot of new kit yesterday 2 try and fix it.

e8400 cpu
4850 gpu
250 gb samsung f1

reainstalled windows
8.9 cats
latest bios
latest drivers

but still gets poor fps in source and 9000 in 3dmark06

what could be the problem here
 
1680X1050 rez but makes no differance if he lowers the rez down i got 10000 odd on the same spec system bar a 3850 gfx so surely the 4850 is beter than the 3850?
 
Found out the board is broke it was throttling cpu and when i turned speedstep,thermal jobbie etc it overheats the northbridge and dies
