Well if you want best get an 8800 ultra and an x-fi xtreme gamer soundcard. If you want awesome that is almost as good as the best (like within 5% performance) get the 8800gts 512mb and stick with onboard sound. The 8800 Ultra is 500-600 bucks, and the 8800gts is 250-300 bucks, but they are almost exactly the same, and the gts runs cooler. Also, these days onbard sound is almost as good as any sound card, so most people don't even buy sound cards anymore.
Reply:I assume what you are asking means that it will be mostly used for gaming. The best video card right now is AMD 3870X2 or Nvidia 8800 Ultra. Those two cost 500+. The best value right now is the 8800GT, 8800GTS, and the 3870. As for sound cards, X-Fi from creative labs. There are contenders but they are way too expensive. And 1350 for a comp that plays games is about average. As long as your computer has a PCI-E and PCI slots, they will work.
