What's your budget?

Do you really need this for gaming? =\

A wired connection will give you better stability and pings.
Network Card: D-Link Wireless-G 108Mbps (Supports 802.11g/b)

I highly suggest NOT to get the 8600GT for gaming. It's a total waste of money. Go for the 8800 GTS.

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

Also, if your planning to keep this system for a long time, I suggest going with a SLI compatible motherboard (Ex: 680i LT) so you can pop in a second video card down the road.

Good idea, but he'll also need to go upto a higher power supply...add the 750watt if you want to add the 2nd video card down the road...you won't want to replace the powersupply just to add a 2nd video card in a few years.
