Well I would get rid of the sound card for sure. The onboard will sound just as good. Audigys are eh...
Dumb it down to 500 Gigs. You don't need an 850 Watt PSU

Home Premium 64bit
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=39090076

8800GT
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=42021591

Thermalake 600 Watt
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=34040066

Samsung Monitor 20 inch
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=27020691

Gigabyte Mobo
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=28022637

Case
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=16010099

2gig Corsair Ram
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=37060314

500 Gig Seagate
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=22040159

Intel Quad.
http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveA...K&sku=19010093

That comes out to about $1796
That give you room to squeeze an optical drive and speakers in there. You can also still go with the ATI card. Its your call.
I'm half asleep and the site is really really slow for me.
Sorry if I missed something.

Thats nice. But.... He specifically asked me to give him 4 gig ram, and 1Tb Hdd and im gona stick with the phenom since its the cheaper option. Also i heard that if you buy the case with a PSU in it, they generally blow up quicker.

Well you can still squeeze that in. And I thought that's the case you orginally put, whoops, they have the same name.

Edit:: kazakia got it

I wouldn't put a 1TB drive in there if I were you. If that thing fails and he loses 1TB of files... oh man, there'd be tears then rage. Why don't you get him three 320GB drives and put them in RAID? Or at least two 500GB drives in RAID 0 for better performance.

I noticed a HUGE jump in SQ when I threw in my soundcard (Audigy SE), so I am going to disagree with that. For 30 bucks its a mod that gets done every time I build a computer.
