Audigy cards are buggy as shit, or so i hear. I've had a ton
of driver problems with mine, and occasionally it just
produces random static. Dunno about anything else though.

I'd get an Asus motherboard if possible.

The graphics card is a little out of date... get something
newer if possible.

Sound card - pick "none" and get a M-audio Audiophile PCI
card somewhere else - they're dirt cheap these days.
