Hi,

What is he using the PC for?

The balance doesn't look quite right to me.

That's an expensive mainboard for a cheap dual core when a Quad core Q6600 is only a little more.

Also is he looking for a gaming rig? if so then perhaps a single GTX for the main two screens and a cheaper 8600 or similar for two of the other monitors. depending on what type of game he's playing.... Flight Sim ?

Really depends on what he wants out of it and whether it's going to be overclocked.
