I'm helping a friend build himself a new computer. He will be using it for gaming, music editing, and music recording. He is looking to spend about 600$ on parts. he will be buying from tiger direct, and here is what he we have so far.

He's also going to get a quiet after market cooler for the cpu, and some quiet case fans. As you can tell, he would like the rig to be pretty quiet. His monitor is 19 inches square, which i think is 1280 by 1024, so the graphics card might be overkill for that resolution. Also, i'm not too sure about the power supply. I've never seen anyone on this sight recommend an ultra brand psu. we would love suggestions so he can get the most out of his money.
