Hey all,

I've been trying to piece together a PC that I'd buy from NCIX for a few days now and I was wondering if I could get some final thoughts on how the build looked? I've looked into various components and I think the build should work, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any final suggestions before I move in and buy it?

Haha. No worries man. Yes you will be able to get sound with the integrated card. Unless you do music recording, you won't need a discrete audio card. And even if you do music recording on it (as I do) you don't always need the discrete card if you run it through a mixer and a nice interface.
That build would be more than capable of what you will need. Although I would suggest getting an additional HDD if you will have any significant amount of media. Although this could also be added later on, as the 240GB would get you by for a while (a year at the most) if you have a decent amount of media. Just figure that the operating system will use about 40GB with programs and everything.
